What symptom is knee tumour?

summary

There is no obvious cause of swelling and pain of knee joint in adolescents, which should be paid special attention to. It may be an early symptom of bone tumor. Many parents mistakenly think that it is swelling and pain caused by injury, and some parents mistakenly think that it is growth pain, which is not the same thing. Families who pay a little attention to it will take their children to the local small clinic for treatment, treat them casually, apply some ointment and so on. What symptom is knee tumour? Let's talk about it

What symptom is knee tumour?

The early symptoms of bone tumors (1) the occurrence of malignant bone tumors is related to the vigorous growth of bone. Most of them occur at the age of 10-30, and the peak of incidence is at the age of 10-20. The pain of the limbs of adolescent patients is consistent with the swelling (or mass), which has the characteristics of fixation and persistence, especially at night, and it is becoming more and more serious. When the pain and swelling of the limbs are not caused by trauma, inflammation or wind cold, we must not take it lightly and go for further examination as soon as possible.

The possibility of Ewing's sarcoma and osteosarcoma should be ruled out when the early symptoms of bone tumor (2), fever, limb pain, swelling, leukocytosis and other acute osteomyelitis occur in adolescents. When the original benign mass on the bone suddenly increases with pain, it indicates that there may be a trend of malignant transformation. Multiple endophytic chondroma, multiple osteochondroma and long tubular single osteochondroma are prone to malignant transformation into chondrosarcoma. When there are the above lesions, regular reexamination should be carried out to prevent malignant transformation.

The early symptoms of bone tumors (3), unexplained limb pain, low back pain in the elderly, and the trend of progressive aggravation, we should be aware of the possibility of metastatic bone tumors. When swelling, local mass and pain appear in the soft tissue of extremities, and tenderness occurs in aponeurosis, fascia and adjacent joints, the possibility of synovial sarcoma should be considered first, and it should not be easily explained by benign lesions such as arthritis, cyst and fibroma.
