Question

Compare five major characteristics of benign bone tumors with those of malignant bone tumors. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Bone tumors are mass of tissue formed by the abnormal cell division. As the tumors grow, the healthy tissues are displaced by the abnormal tissues. The tumor can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancerous, however, they can compress the growth of healthy bone tissues and cause fracture. The malignant tumors are cancerous and will spread throughout the body.
