Periosteal Osteosarcoma of the Second Toe with Bone Marrow Involvement: A Rare Case

Dr. Vasu Nikunj, Dr. Shubham Sharma

Abstract: Periosteal Osteosarcoma is a variant that arises from the periosteal surface of bone without evidence of medullary involvement which exhibits distinct radiographic, and radiological features and biological behaviors that are different from the conventional Osteosarcoma. The treatment usually requires aggressive surgery with clear margins. We present a case of a 58-year-old man who presented with painful swelling of the second toe right foot. Clinico-radiological evaluation showed it as an osteolytic lesion following which underwent Ray amputation of second toe. Periosteal osteosarcoma usually affects young individuals in their 2nd and 3rd decade of life with predominantly involving long bones but is rare in small bones. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion for early management and better outcome of the patient.
