Non-cancerous bone tumors including osteochondromas, enchondromas, giant cell tumors, and bone cysts. Usually slow-growing. May cause pain, pathological fractures, or remain asymptomatic. Location and size determine symptoms - larger tumors or those in weight-bearing bones more problematic. Some require surgical removal.
Large benign tumor causing significant pain, pathological fracture, or marked functional impairment even after treatment
