Abstract

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor and is known to occur mainly in the metaphyses of long bones. However, a few cases of osteosarcoma in talus have been reported in older patients. We experienced an osteosarcoma of an 80-year-old male patient with a talus which is rarely reported and evaluated disease patterns with four different imaging modalities.
