Abstract
A radiograph of the second left metacarpal bone in a 34-year-old man showed irregular
lytic areas in the diaphysis that was expanded with perpendicular periosteal reactions.
Examination of the first biopsy specimen indicated a fibrous dysplasia. Examination
of the second biopsy specimen revealed an unequivocal grade I intramedullary osteosarcoma,
desmoid to fibrous dysplasia-like in histological pattern. Three years after an adequate
en bloc resection of the metacarpal bone, the man was healthy. The long-term course
is usually favorable.
