Osteosarcoma Symptoms & Signs

  • Bone pain.
  • Tenderness, swelling, or redness at the site of the bone pain.
  • The first sign may be a bone fracture. The tumor may cause weakness in the affected area of the bone. A fracture at the site of the tumor is called a "pathological fracture" which occurs after what often seems like a routine movement. For example, a young athlete who breaks an arm during a routine throw should be tested to ensure there is no underlying bone problem, such as a tumor or cyst.
