Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 42 year old male patient complained of increasing pain and mass around the right ankle with 4 months duration. Simple Roentgenogram and CT showed ill-defined osteolysis and cortical perforation in the neck of the right talus. The pathologic findings showed high grade osteoblastic osteosarcoma. The tumor mass of the ankle increased and pulmonary metastasis was found in spite of administrating of two cycles of preoperative chemotherapy. Below-knee amputation and open wedge pulmonary resection were performed for primary lesion and multiple pulmoanry metastasis, respectively. However, the patient died with multiple pulmonary metastasis in spite of three cycles of postoperative chemotherapy at ten months after the operation.
