AB Bony  tumors  are  classified  and  named  based  on  the  type  of  tissue  from  which  they  originate:  osteogenic,  chondrogenic,  fibrogenic,  angiogenic,  or  myelogenic.  The  incidence  for  some  bony  tumors  is  associated  with  their  location  within  a  bone,  the  age  of  the  client,  and  with  certain  types  that  are  more  prevalent  in  adolescents,  who  are  undergoing  rapid  changes  in  their  skeletal  structures.  Treatment  of  bone  tumor  is  based  on  the  location,  size,  and  staging.  Radiation  and  chemotherapies  have  been  successfully  used  to  treat  many  benign  and  metastatic  tumors,  whereas  other  tumors  are  best  treated  with  surgical  excision  and  limb  salvage  procedures.
