Hay pocos síntomas. El más común es el dolor y, ocasionalmente, hinchazón en el sitio del tumor.
Los niños pueden igualmente romperse un hueso en el sitio del tumor después de una lesión aparentemente menor (esto se denomina "fractura patológica").
También puede presentarse fiebre.
Si se sospecha de un tumor, los exámenes para ubicar el tumor primario y cualquier propagación (metástasis) con frecuencia abarcan:
