M90.63: Osteitis deformans in neoplastic disease Forearm

Due to new tissue growth, you have a condition that involves radical change in bones.

This has affected bone in your forearm.

Bones consist mainly of bone cells, certain proteins and various minerals. The minerals include calcium and phosphate, in particular. The bone tissue is constantly being broken down and built up again. This enables bones to adapt well to loading. There is usually a balance between the growth and breakdown of bone tissue.

With this disorder, the growth of new tissue disturbs the balance between bone growing and bone being broken down. Initially, more bone tissue than usual is broken down. More new bone forms as a result. The new bone is less stable. As a result, the bone can become deformed more easily, or even break.

The affected bones may be deformed. The skin over the affected bone may be hotter than usual. You may also have pain.
