[Orthopod] Re: Osteosarcoma left femur	Can't Post

Dear Dr Shirazi,
Xrays not very clear. Plus only AP view available. lot of new bone
visible,if its a tumor it is likely to be an osteosarc. Eve myosistis
ossificans would produce a similar picture.would get a Alkaline
phosphatase level done(sadly myosistis will also give a raised level,
but never the very high levels of an osteogenic sarcoma), CT if
possible. If osteosarc confirmed, pre surgery chemo followed by
surgery.....diaphyseal lesions permit good limb salvage ( more so as
cXR is WNL)
