Clinical Information About Bone Lesions:

The term bone lesion is used by healthcare professionals when referring to events where healthy bones are replaced with abnormal growths of bone or other tissues. These abnormal growths can damage healthy bone tissue and cause bone structure changes.

These abnormal growths are either benign or malignant. Benign bone lesions are not cancerous and don’t spread to other body parts. Malignant bone lesions are cancerous and can metastasize and spread to other body parts.

These abnormal growths emerge from various factors, including genetics, inflammations, bacterial infections, trauma, injuries, and tumors. Those who have bone lesions will feel pain in the affected area. There might even be swelling.

Commonly asked questions

How do healthcare providers detect and diagnose bone lesions?

They will conduct imaging tests to determine and confirm the location and severity of the lesions. They will also conduct biopsies to check if the lesions are benign or malignant.

How does one prevent themselves from having bone lesions?

There’s no guaranteed way of preventing bone lesions from emerging. To lower the risk of bone lesions forming, people need to protect themselves from physical trauma and injury and have a balanced diet that promotes bone health.

How are bone lesions treated?

Benign bone lesions are usually left alone unless they are causing damage. If they are causing damage, surgery will be conducted to remove the lesion.
