Small cell osteosarcoma of the rib: An exceptional localization

Abstract

Abstract Small cell osteosarcoma is a rare sub‐type of osteogenic malignant tumors. Rib localization is uncommon. Histological examination is an important step to make the difference with similar tumors like Ewing's sarcoma. Surgical resection is the unique curative treatment. The prognosis remains poor even with adjuvant treatment.
