Bone Tumors in Children
نویسنده
چکیده
Malignant bone tumors in children occur rarely. Estimated annual incidence is 7 cases per 1.000.000 children under the age of 16. Due to its rare occurrence and often unspecific signs and symptoms, a lot of physicians do not consider this diagnosis early enough. Therefore it is not surprising that the majority of patients are referred to the pediatric oncologist when the disease is already in advanced stage. The aim of this review is to summarize basic facts regarding bone tumors, in order to help primary care pediatricians and general practitioners to recognize these neoplasms as soon as possible. Besides malignant, there will be a short review of benign tumors and tumor-like lesions.
