OSTEOSARCOMA OF THE FRONTAL BONE: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Osteosarcoma as a primary tumour of the skull is very rare. The tumour biology slightly differs from osteosarcoma occurring in the extremities, with a lower tendency to metastasize distantly. Treatment of choice is surgery where possible, then adjuvant chemoradiation because achieving negative surgical margins at the head and neck region is extremely difficult. There is high chance of local tumour relapse. We report a case of a 48-year old female who presented with a 15-month history of rapidly increasing frontal mass and progressive visual loss. Histology confirmed the tumour to be osteogenic sarcoma. She underwent tumour debulking followed by adjuvant palliative chemotherapy.
