Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor usually seen in adolescent and early adulthood and often with long bones; patients complain of pain and swelling. Plain radiography revealed cortex destruction and moth-eaten style medullary lesions.

The importance of imaging, examination, and anamnesis is emphasized in the light of the literature.
