Osteosarcoma
MONDO:0009807A usually aggressive malignant bone-forming mesenchymal neoplasm, predominantly affecting adolescents and young adults. It usually involves bones and less frequently extraosseous sites. It often involves the long bones (particularly distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal humerus). Pain with or without a palpable mass is the most frequent clinical symptom. It may spread to other anatomic sites, particularly the lungs.
Also known as: bone tissue neoplasm, osteogenic sarcoma, osteoid sarcoma, osteosarcoma, osteosarcoma (disease), osteosarcoma, malignant, sarcoma of osteoid
