Multifocal low-grade central osteosarcoma: a rare case

Richard Boyle et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2016 Jul.

Abstract

Low-grade central osteosarcoma (LGCOS) is a rare variant of osteosarcoma. We present a rare case of multifocal LGCOS located in two distinct skeletal sites, initially noted as incidental findings on imaging for distant traumatic pathology. Both sites seemed small and innocuous on initial imaging, and were quiescent clinically, illustrating the value of close interval multimodal surveillance scanning.

Keywords: Low grade central osteosarcoma; Multifocal; Multimodal imaging; Osteosarcoma; Synchronous.
