Best Practice Case Studies-Osteosarcoma

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A 12-year-old male presented with right knee pain and was evaluated for potential osteosarcoma. Radiographs revealed a suspicious, ill-defined lesion in the right medial femoral neck, indicative of an aggressive osseous lesion. MRI confirmed a heterogeneously hyperintense mass, suggesting osteosarcoma. In a separate case, a 16-year-old female with shoulder pain showed imaging signs of an aggressive lesion, including a wide zone of transition, periosteal reactions, and soft tissue involvement. Such characteristics, alongside factors like bone destruction pattern and patient age, help differentiate aggressive lesions in musculoskeletal evaluations.
