Bone tumors vary widely, from harmless incidental findings to benign growths and the most aggressive malignant tumors. Diagnosing these tumors requires a comprehensive approach involving various investigations, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and in some cases, biopsy (HPE). It is crucial to consider the possibility of metastasis and actively search for it when suspected.

Broadly the treatment consists of :

a. Benign tumors
b. Resection
c. Curettage and filling of space with cement + bone graft
d. Resection and reconstruction of the bone defect.

Malignant tumors:

a. Resection and reconstruction
b. Arthrodesis – fusing a joint
c. Megaprosthesis – restoring the mobility of joint
d. Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy might be needed in the preoperative and postoperative period depending on the diagnosis of the lesion.
