Bone and Soft-Tissue Tumor Program
Our Bone and Soft-tissue Tumor program provides specialty care for children with bone, muscle, or connective tissue cancer.
General Information: 501-364-4000
No matter the type of bone tumor or sarcoma, your child will be in excellent hands at Arkansas Children’s. Our expert team provides care and treatment for a broad range of bone and soft tissue tumors and sarcomas, as well as vascular malformations. Some children may qualify to take part in a clinical trial.
Diagnostic Tests
New patients receive a comprehensive evaluation that may include:
- Physical exam
- X-ray evaluation
- Pathologic evaluation. Doctors will study the cells of the growth, tumor or sarcoma to determine the type of cancer or benign growth. This information allows them to choose the best treatment for your child.
-
Benign Growths
Bone cells can form noncancerous cysts or cartilage-topped extra growths (osteochondromas) near a bone’s growth plate, giant cell tumors, pigmented villonodular synovitis, and other rare tumors. This overgrowth can happen in childhood and teen years.
-
Desmoid Tumors
Non-cancerous growths on the connective tissue that form ligaments and tendons in the arms, legs and abdomen.
-
Ewing’s Sarcoma
This cancerous tumor grows in the soft tissue near bones or the bones. It can form anywhere in the body, often in the arms, legs, ribs, spine and pelvis.
-
Osteochondroma
Arkansas Children’s Hospital provides expert diagnosis and treatment for osteochondroma, a benign (non-cancerous) tumor in the bone.
-
Rhabdomyosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common form of soft-tissue cancer in children. This condition is called “rhabdo” for short, and usually appears when children are between ages 2 and 6 and 15 and 19.
-
Synovial Sarcoma
Synovial sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that grows in the soft tissues, most often around the joints or muscles.
