Osteosarcoma of The Femoral Head: A Case Report
Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor [1]. We report a case of osteosarcoma of the femoral head. The patient was 19 years old and presented with hip pain and a defect in the femoral head on imaging. A biopsy confirmed osteosarcoma of the femoral head. A head-neck resection with total hip arthroplasty was performed. At the 7-year follow-up, the patient was in good general condition, with no signs of clinical or radiological recurrence.
