Osteosarcoma of talus with heterotopic ossifications and lung metastases

Abstract

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor and is known to occur mainly in the metaphyses of long bones. However, a few cases of osteosarco-ma in talus have been reported in older patients. We experienced an osteosarcoma of an 80-year-old male patient with a talus which is rarely reported and evaluated dis-ease patterns with four different imaging modalities.
