The main symptoms of bone tumors in children include local swelling, pain, joint dysfunction, and fever. Local swelling may be accompanied by the formation of a mass, and pain may worsen as the condition progresses, becoming particularly noticeable at night or during physical activity. Without timely treatment, joint function may become impaired, leading to restricted movement. Additionally, symptoms such as fever and loss of appetite may occur. If there is any suspicion, prompt medical evaluation and adherence to a doctor's recommendations are essential.
