Core Tip

Core Tip: Hepatic osteosarcoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor with a short duration and a high likelihood of metastasis and recurrence. Although the imaging examination can help detect lesions, it is difficult to distinguish from other lesions with multiple osteosarcoma-like lesions and make accurate preoperative diagnosis. If hepatic osteosarcoma is suspected, a biopsy and surgery should be performed as soon as possible.
