Benign and malignant cartilage- and bone-forming tumors arising in soft tissues are unusual. Hyaline cartilage tumors may easily be mistaken as malignant if the histologic criteria of intraosseous lesions are applied directly. Other chondroid- and bone-forming tumors also may be difficult to recognize. The correct pathologic diagnosis within this group of neoplasms requires close clinical correlation, as well as familiarity and careful interpretation of a broad histologic spectrum.

Osteoid osteoma (OO), a benign bone-forming tumor estimated to account for 3% of all primary bone tumors, rarely occurs in the finger. This case report presents an unusual instance of osteoid osteoma in the finger of a 15-year-old male patient. The lesion was discovered following an initial patient visit for left middle finger pain and swelling for one year without any identifiable injuries.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS), the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, arises from bone-forming mesenchymal cells. Despite advancements in surgical resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin, doxorubicin, and methotrexate), chemotherapy resistance remains a significant challenge, leading to poor survival rates in patients with metastatic or recurrent OS.

Methods: In this study, we focused on the role of OTULIN, a key linear deubiquitinating enzyme, in OS chemoresistance.

Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor, derived from primitive bone-forming mesenchymal cells, and its aggressive nature often leads to significant morbidity and mortality, with amputation being routinely performed in localized cases. Post-amputation morbidity has a significant impact on the quality of life of the affected individuals. The tumor frequently metastasizes to the lungs and bones, and widespread disease remains the leading cause of most patient deaths.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone-forming tumour, seen more frequently in males than females, during the first three decades of their life. It accounts for 3% of all bone neoplasms and 10-12% of benign bone lesions. The spine is involved in approximately 10-20% of cases.

Conventional high-grade osteosarcomas are characterized by aggressive radiologic features, cytologic pleomorphism, and complex genomics. However, rare examples of osteosarcomas remain challenging due to unusual histology, such as sclerosing or osteoblastoma-like features, which may require molecular confirmation of their complex genetic alterations. We have encountered such a case in a 17-year-old man, who presented with a third metatarsal sclerotic bone lesion, found incidentally in the work-up of a foot trauma.
