What are bone tumors and cysts?

Also known as: There are a large number of bone tumors, fibrous lesions, and cystic tumors all with different names. Our specialist pediatricians will identify the particular one affecting your child.

Bone tumors and cysts are abnormal growths that can occur in the bones. Many of them are not cancerous (some are cancerous that start in bone, other bone cancers may have spread from other parts of the body).

Non-cancerous bone tumors can grow aggressively and cause complications that need to be addressed.
