Osteosarcoma can spread to the pleura, a rare occurrence. This case highlights unusual pleural thickening and ossification detected via bone scan in an osteosarcoma patient.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive bone cancer with high metastatic potential.
- Lung and bone metastases are common in OS, while pleural involvement is rare.
- Diffuse pleural thickening with ossification is an unusual presentation of OS metastasis.
