Bone is a predilection site for primary tumors and metastatic cancer. The main symptoms of bone tumors are pain, limited activity and increased at night. Lateral bone tumors are sometimes confused with periarthritis of the shoulder. However, bone tumors have special manifestations such as bone destruction on X-ray, CT or MRI.

Periarthritis of the shoulder is a common disease in orthopedic clinics. It is more common in elderly people over the age of 50. Because of the cold and tiredness, the symptoms are mainly shoulder pain and limited activity, which is obviously worse at night. Although it can heal itself, it has a long course of disease, sometimes up to 1 to 2 years. And even after the cure, it is easier to relapse. So it is often easy to make people numb.
