Abstract

|
The reported incidence of osteosacoma of the foot varies between 0.2-2% of all osteosarcoma. Low grade osteosarcoma of the long bone represents only 1.9% of all osteosarcoma. A 38-year-old female had suffered painful mass in the proximal phalanx of the second toe for 1 year. Radiographic finding showed enlarged osteloytic mass which had penetrated thin cortex of the second toe and apparent increased uptake in bone scan was seen. Mass resection with autogenous bone graft using rib was performed. Histologically, the tumor was compatible with "low grade osteosarcoma". Second stage wide resection was performed. Because low grade osteosarcoma located in the proximal phalanx of the second toe is very rare, we report this unusual case with review of literature.
