MEDICAL PRACTICE Persistent Knee Pain in a Recreational Runner
نویسنده
چکیده
Primary bone cancers are rare and affect fewer than 2500 people yearly in the United States. Osteosarcoma, the most common malignant primary bone tumor, has an annual incidence of 2 cases per million people. Advances in surgical and medical therapies have dramatically improved the prognosis of osteosarcoma during the last few decades. Early detection by primary care physicians remains a cornerstone of treatment, because locally advanced or metastatic disease has a substantially worse prognosis. This report describes a recreational athlete who complained of persistent knee pain and was subsequently diagnosed with high-grade tibial osteosarcoma.
