Osteosarcoma of the calcaneus: a case report
Médecine et Chirurgie du Pied(2015)
Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the primary malignant bone tumor, which affects most commonly the metaphysis of the long bones. This chapter deals with a 21-year-old male patient with osteosarcoma of the calcaneus. Symptoms of the disease were pain and swelling of the right foot since 4 years. Standard X-rays and CT scan oriented the diagnosis while tumor-open biopsy and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Hence, the leg was amputated. Here, we discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and therapeutic management of the disease.
