Clinical Presentation
Patients usually present with pain and limited range of motion caused by tumor's proximity to the joint space. There may be swelling as well, if the tumor has been growing for a long time. Some patients may be asymptomatic until they develop a pathologic fracture at the site of the tumor. The symptoms may include muscular aches and pains in arms, legs and abdominal pain. Patients may also experience nerve pain which feels like an electric shock.
