Also known as Osteogenic sarcoma, Skeletal sarcoma, osteoid sarcoma, OSTEOSARCOMA, MALIGNANT, sarcoma of osteoid

An osteosarcoma (OS) or osteogenic sarcoma (OGS) is a cancerous tumor in a bone. Specifically, it is an aggressive malignant neoplasm that arises from primitive transformed cells of mesenchymal origin (and thus a sarcoma) and that exhibits osteoblastic differentiation and produces malignant osteoid.
