Abstract

Osteosarcoma is a rare primary malignant bone tumor, characterized by the formation of immature bone produced by tumor cells. Its incidence is bimodal, occurring in adolescents and adults over 65 years of age.

 It has a predilection to affect long bones and rarely affects soft tissue. Radiographic studies are very important for its diagnosis along with the physical examination and the patient's medical history, in addition to the biopsy, which provides the definitive diagnosis of the tumor.

Due to the support between surgical treatment and chemotherapy, the survival rate of this tumor has been increasing in recent years.
