osteosarcoma
Malignant bone tumor
Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor, the most common primary bone cancer.
It typically develops in the long bones—the femur, tibia, or upper arm—and occurs most frequently in adolescents and young adults during growth spurts.
Treatment usually involves chemotherapy and surgical removal of the affected bone.
The biopsy confirmed osteosarcoma.
