What are the dangers of benign osteosarcoma

Benign osteosarcoma is also very harmful to people. We must go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. Early detection and early treatment can minimize the disease. We must have a comprehensive understanding of benign osteosarcoma in order to better treat it. So what are the harms of benign osteosarcoma? I have collected a lot of information. Now let's learn about the harms of benign osteosarcoma!

The dangers of benign bone tumors:

1. Pain

It is the main symptom of bone tumor in the early stage. The disease is mild and intermittent at the beginning. As the disease progresses, the pain may gradually increase and develop into a continuous pain. Most patients have aggravated pain at night and affect their sleep. The pain can radiate to distant places.

2. Swelling or lumps

Tumors located under the periosteum or superficially appear earlier, and bone expansion and deformation can be felt. If the tumor penetrates outside the bone, a fixed soft tissue mass may be formed, with a smooth or uneven surface.

3. Dysfunction

In the later stages of bone tumors, the function of the affected area will be impaired due to pain and swelling, which may be accompanied by muscle atrophy in the corresponding area.

4. Compression symptoms

Tumors that grow into the cranial cavity and nasal cavity can compress the brain and nasal tissues, causing symptoms of cranial compression and difficulty breathing; pelvic tumors can compress the rectum and bladder, causing difficulty in defecation and urination; spinal tumors can compress the spinal cord and cause paralysis.

5. Deformity

The tumor affects the development and firmness of the limb bones and causes deformities, which are more obvious in the lower limbs.

6. Pathological fracture

Even the slightest external force at the tumor site can easily cause fractures, which are accompanied by severe swelling and pain at the fracture site. Pathological fractures of the spine are often accompanied by paraplegia.

7. Systemic symptoms

In the later stages of bone tumors, due to tumor consumption, toxic stimulation and painful torture, a series of systemic symptoms may appear, such as insomnia, irritability, loss of appetite, mental depression, pale complexion, progressive weight loss, anemia, cachexia, etc.

The above introduction is about the harm of benign osteosarcoma. I believe everyone has understood it. Osteosarcoma must be diagnosed early to minimize the harm of osteosarcoma. Do not delay the best treatment time.
