Primary malignant bone tumors:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Bone pain is the most common indication of primary malignant bone tumors. It's generally more intense at night and isn't usually associated with mobility. The pain is dull and is usually localized, although it may be referred from the hip or spine and result in weakness or a limp. Another common sign is the presence of a mass or tumor. The tumor site may be tender and may swell; the tumor itself is in many cases palpable. Pathologic fractures are common. In late stages, the patient may be cachectic, with fever and impaired mobility.

Osteoporosis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Osteoporosis is usually discovered incidentally on roentgenograms; the patient may have been asymptomatic for years. Vertebral collapse, causing a backache with pain that radiates around the trunk, is the most common presenting feature. Any movement or jarring aggravates the backache.
In another common pattern, osteoporosis can develop insidiously, with increasing deformity, kyphosis, and loss of height. Sometimes a dowager hump is present. As bones weaken, spontaneous wedge fractures, pathologic fractures of the neck or femur, Colles’fractures after a minor fall, and hip fractures become increasingly common.
ELDER TIP Osteoporosis, usually affecting older people, is a major risk factor in vertebral compression fractures and hip fractures.
Osteoporosis primarily affects the weight-bearing vertebrae. Only when the condition is advanced or severe, as in Cushing’s syndrome or hyperthyroidism, do comparable changes occur in the skull, ribs, and long bones.

Osteoporosis:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Osteoporosis is usually discovered when an elderly person bends to lift something, hears a snapping sound, and then feels a sudden pain in the lower back. Vertebral collapse, producing a backache with pain that radiates around the trunk, is the most common presenting feature. Any movement or jarring aggravates the backache.
In another common pattern, osteoporosis can develop insidiously, with increasing deformity, kyphosis, loss of height, and a markedly aged appearance. As vertebral bodies weaken, spontaneous wedge fractures, pathologic fractures of the neck and femur, Colles’fractures after a minor fall, and hip fractures are all common.
Osteoporosis primarily affects the weight-bearing vertebrae. Only when the condition is advanced or severe, as in Cushing’s syndrome or hyperthyroidism, do comparable changes occur in the skull, ribs, and long bones.
