Bone Sarcomas in Children: Clinical Features

Abstract

Solid tumors in children occupy the second place in the structure of morbidity, yielding to hemoblastosis. Among solid tumors, approximately 5% are bone sarcomas: osteosarcoma (3%) and Ewing’s sarcoma (2%). Atypicality of the course of these diseases makes it difficult to diagnose them early. The article describes a series of clinical observations of patients with bone sarcomas, which illustrate the complexity of diagnosing diseases of this group.
