Article Synopsis
- Osteochondromas are benign growths typically found in the long bones' metaphyseal region, with a very low risk of turning malignant, although cases of transformation to osteosarcoma are rare.
- A 66-year-old woman experienced abdominal pain leading to the discovery of osteosarcoma derived from osteochondromas in her right iliac bone; after chemotherapy and surgical removal, pathology confirmed the diagnosis.
- Three years post-surgery, the patient showed no signs of cancer recurrence or metastasis and regained the ability to walk unaided, but ongoing monitoring is advised.
