title: [Malignant bone tumors in children, diagnosis and treatment].
abstract: Primitive bone tumours in children and adolescents require early treatment in order to increase the chances of recovery. The presenting symptoms, usually banal, must not be minimised. The prognosis in terms of survival and functional outcome depends on the initial extent of the disease, the response of the disease to treatment and optimal support by a specialised medical-surgical team.
