Primary Osteosarcoma of the Rib: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the bone. The most common sites of osteosarcoma in children are the metaphysis of long bones, especially the distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal humerus. It occurs very rarely in flat bones. Here we report a 14-year-old adolescent boy with primary osteosarcoma of the fifth rib and a review of literature.

“…In addition, the high frequency of presentation involving posterior shoulder pain in first rib fracture breeds overlap with true shoulder pathologies such as scapular dyskinesis and rotator cuff tendonitis or impingement and the tendency to have referral of pain in this region 5 . Finally, although less likely it is important to consider that primary bone tumor should be included on the differential in this age group until ruled out with X-ray or advanced imaging 13 . Thus, it is essential to keep a high degree of suspicion when presented with any type of pain in the shoulder region.…”

“…6 Almost all patients had lumps or pain or both, and some had other symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, and hemoptysis. 7 The overall 5-year survival rate for localized osteosarcoma is 60% to 80%, 6 with a survival rate of approximately 60% for children and adolescents. 8 Among metastatic osteosarcoma, patients with lung metastasis have the worst prognosis, with a 3-year survival rate of less than 30%.…”

“…7 The survival of individuals with osteosarcoma dramatically improved after systemic chemotherapy was added to multimodality therapy. 7,8 The ages of osteosarcoma patients are distributed bimodally both at a young age as well as old age. The initial peak is between the ages of 10 and 14.…”
