Osteosarcoma or Ewing’s sarcoma? Radiologist’s Dilemma

Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5

Abstract

Misdiagnosis of osteosarcoma is usual with the condition commonly known as Ewing’s sarcoma. It is the second most frequent primary malignant bone cancer, after osteosarcoma. We report a case of 13 year old boy who radiologically presents all features of Ewing’s sarcoma but histopathologically comes out to be osteosarcoma. Keywords: Osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, Distal femur, Bone neoplasias.
