Abstract
Intracortical osteosarcoma is the rarest type of osteosarcoma. In most instances the tumor arises in the cortex of the femur, less commonly, in the tibia. We describe an 11-year-old patient with intracortical osteosarcoma of the tibia in whom the tumor was present for 2 years and became painful 3 months prior to presentation.
