M90.7: Fracture of bone in neoplastic disease

Fracture of bone in neoplastic disease, represented by ICD-10 code M90.7, is a condition in which a bone is broken due to the presence of a neoplasm or tumor. Tumors can develop in the bone or spread (metastasize) from another part of the body, causing the bone to weaken and potentially fracture under normal stress or minor injury. Common symptoms may include sudden, severe pain in the affected bone, limited movement, and, in some cases, visible deformity. This condition often occurs in larger bones such as the hip, spine, or leg. The health progression can vary widely, depending upon the type of neoplastic disease causing the bone weakness, the fracture's location, and whether it’s an open or closed fracture. The affected system is primarily the skeletal system, but it could also have implications on the nervous system and overall physical mobility.
