Abstract:
The authors report a girl with high-grade intraosseous osteosarcoma of the left femur who lost one eye during early infancy for an unknown reason. Nine months after treatment, osteosarcoma in the stomach was detected and completely excised when the girl underwent endoscopy for Helicobacter pylori infection. Three years later osteosarcoma in the pulmonary interlobular space was noticed and completely removed. The girl is doing well and free of disease 26 months after the last resection.
