Abstract

There have been cases of osteosarcoma in which conventional radiographs showed only minimal abnormalities. However, the absence of any evidence of tumor has not been reported. We report a unique case of osteosarcoma in a patient who originally presented with a fracture incurred after minimal trauma. The patient had no radiographic evidence of the tumor even after retrospective analysis.
