Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the commonest primary malignant bone tumour in children and adolescents, the majority of cases being conventional intra-medullary high-grade tumours affecting the appendicular skeleton. Treatment is typically with a combination of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, tumour resection with limb reconstruction and post-operative chemotherapy. The current article reviews the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the pre-operative assessment of high-grade central conventional osteosarcoma.
