Br J Neurosurg. 2012 Feb;26(1):91-3. doi: 10.3109/02688697.2011.581771. Epub 2011 Jun 27.

Abstract

Intracerebral metastasis in osteosarcoma is extremely rare. A 14-year-old girl who had previously been operated upon for osteosarcoma of the femur presented with seizures and left hemiparesis. A right parietal lesion with calcification and brain oedema was found. After resection of the mass, pathology revealed an osteosarcoma metastasis.
