Case report 858: Postradiation osteosarcoma of the patella

K Okada et al. Skeletal Radiol. 1994 Aug.

Abstract

A case of postradiation osteosarcoma of the patella in a 54-year-old man was presented. The lesion in the patella was diffuse and highly sclerotic, and was partially radiolucent in radiographs. The whole patella was removed by Miyakawa's method. Diagnostic criteria, clinical features, and radiographic findings of postradiation sarcoma were described. The rarity of osteosarcoma of the patella was emphasized.
