Non-Cancerous Growth in Upper Limb Bones
A benign neoplasm of the short bones of the upper limb refers to a non-cancerous growth that occurs in the small bones of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand. Although these tumors are generally non-threatening, they can still cause discomfort and affect the normal functioning of the upper limb. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, limited range of motion, and weakness. While the exact cause is often unknown, certain factors such as genetics, trauma, or repetitive stress may contribute to the development of this condition. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and a biopsy to confirm the nature of the tumor. Treatment options may vary depending on the size and location of the neoplasm, but they often involve surgical removal or other minimally invasive procedures. Seeking early medical attention and proper management can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
