Large doses of Sr-90, nicknamed bone seeker, increases the risk of bone cancer and leukemia in animals and is presumed to do so in people. [10] There is no clear association between water fluoridation and cancer or deaths due to cancer, both for cancer in general and also specifically for bone cancer and osteosarcoma. [11]

The most common locations for many primary tumors, both benign and malignant include the distal femur and proximal tibia (around the knee joint). Examples of benign bone tumors include osteoma, osteoid osteoma, osteochondroma, osteoblastoma, enchondroma, giant cell tumor of bone and aneurysmal bone cyst. [citation needed]
A person with HME has an increased risk of developing a rare form of bone cancer called chondrosarcoma as an adult. [20] Problems may be had in later life and these could include weak bones and nerve damage. [21] [22] [23] The reported rate of transformation ranges from as low as 0.57% [16] to as high as 8.3% of people with HME. [24]
This is in contrast to most bone cancers that are secondary having developed as a metastasis from another cancer. Bone sarcomas are rare, and mostly affect the legs. The other type of sarcoma is a soft-tissue sarcoma. There are three main types of bone sarcoma based on tissue type – an osteosarcoma, a Ewing's sarcoma, and a chondrosarcoma. [1]
Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of bone. [1] [2] The tumors take the form of cartilage-capped bony projections or outgrowth on the surface of bones ().[3] [4] It is characterized as a type of overgrowth that can occur in any bone where cartilage forms bone.
Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), also known as Nora's lesion, [4] is a type of non-cancerous bone tumor belonging to the group of cartilage tumors. [1] [2] [5] It is generally seen in the tubular bones of the hands and feet, [6] where it presents with a rapidly enlarging painless lump in a finger or toe.
Europe and other parts of the world use the ICD-10. The root codes for ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM are the same, making it helpful for locating codes for general body systems and disease processes. [2] [3] In ICD-11 the search and coding of any disease, including rare ones is done via the ICD-11 website. [4]
