Question

The patient discovered a lump on the left humerus in June 2013, about the size of an egg yolk, without any pain. Inquire about further treatment methods.

Answer

Based on X-ray diagnosis, it is initially believed to be a bone cartilage tumor, and it is recommended to further check for other similar lumps throughout the body. Since the lump cannot be removed without surgery and does not affect activity, medical advice suggests considering surgery at a convenient time. Additionally, as pediatric bone tumors can have a severe impact on the patient’s life, apart from timely treatment, daily care is also very important, including protecting the affected area and maintaining a reasonable diet, to reduce the chance of recurrence.
