Abstract

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor, but it usually occurs in long bones. Its location in the ribs is exceptional and represents a diagnostic challenge. We report the case of a young patient with osteosarcoma of the right 9th rib, emphasizing the contribution of imaging to the positive diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning
