Jihane EH, Siham EH, Basma D, Abdellah BS, Latifa C, Nazik A. Unusual peritoneal metastases of femoral osteosarcoma. J Case Rep Images Pediatr 2023;5(1):21–25.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor in children, most often occurring in the lower extremity of the femur, and is known to be particularly aggressive, with a high risk of metastasis. The most frequent secondary localizations are pulmonary and bone metastases; peritoneal metastases are extremely rare and have a poor prognosis.
Case Report: We report the case of a 14-year-old child with a history of a treated right femoral osteosarcoma, which presented with peritoneal and pulmonary metastases.
Conclusion: Imaging plays a very important role in the management of patients with osteosarcoma, it allows an early detection of metastases through a rigorous clinico-radiological surveillance, metastases usually have the same radiological appearance as the primary tumor and the diagnosis of certainty is essentially based on anatomopathological study.
Keywords: Histology, Imaging, Osteosarcoma, Peritoneal metastasis, Pulmonary metastases
