Symptoms and Signs of Bone and Joint Tumors
Bone tumors typically cause unexplained, progressive pain and swelling. Pain can occur with the mechanical stress of weight bearing or without weight bearing (pain at rest), particularly at night. Some tumors (eg, leukemia, lymphoma, Ewing sarcoma) can cause fever and/or other constitutional symptoms.
