RESUMO
Osteosarcoma of clavicle is extremely rare. Improved survival in patients with osteosarcomas has been associated with recent advances in imaging techniques, histopathological methods, surgery and chemotherapy. In most cases the diagnosis can be made with confidence on the x-ray appearance. Other imaging studies like- radioisotope scans may show up-skip lesions, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) show the extend of the tumour. Incisional biopsy or excisional biopsy is carried out after careful clinical study and proper investigations. A 30 years old cultivator with a late case of primary osteosarcoma of clavicle was treated with pre-operative and post-operative chemotherapy and was managed with surgical excision of tumor with limb sparing. The patient was clinically disease free for about 08 (eight) months. Then the patient developed recurrences and died 11 (eleven) months after operation.
