Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone neoplasm. It has a very high metastatic potential, and lungs are the most common site of metastasis followed by bones. Multiagent chemotherapy has been reported to alter the biological behavior of the disease so that the tumor metastasizes to more rare sites such as brain, bowel, and soft tissues. The authors report a case of jejuno-jejunal intussusception caused by metastases from osteosarcoma.
