Undifferentiated connective tissue and forms of neoplastic osteoid
Central Osteosarcoma
other types of osteosarcomas
- Multicentric
- Parosteal
- Secondary
- Extraosseous
Second m/c primary malignant bone tumor
Central Osteosarcoma
20% of all primary bone tumors, mostly in 10-25 year olds.
Central Osteosarcoma
Painful swelling at site of lesion (85%), with weight loss, fever, and cachexia

Pulmonary metastasis in osteosarcoma via hematogenous
route
Cannonball Metastases
ossfified
Cannonball metastases represents
sarcomatous pulmonary bone growths
Common subpleural nodules that have undergone
excavation –> rupture
Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Skeletal Metastasis may occur, called
Skip lesions
75% of Central Osteosarcomas are in
metaphyses of long bones
Central Osteosarcomas are m/c at the

•
distal end of femur
and Proximal tibia and humerus
what usually acts as barrier to spread?
Physis
- Focal lesion in metaphysis
- Mottled, permeative lesion
- Poorly defined zone of transition
- cortical distruption
Central Osteosarcoma
Dense ivory or sclerotic lesion filling medullary
space
