High grade surface osteosarcoma in a 24-year-old male (CT Image)

This is a rare tumor. The feature that makes it rare is its localization on the surface of a bone. It can invade the cortex and even medulla. Histology is similar to conventional osteosarcoma, which involves the medulla of the bone. This example was entirely osteoblastic on the biopsy samples. The treatment options are the same since this lesion behaves the same as the conventional one.
