Abstract

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary malignant bone tumour that usually occurs in children and adolescents. OS is a highly aggressive tumour type with a propensity for local invasion and systemic early metastasis to the lungs or other bones. According to the World Health Organization, there are different subtypes of OS, including conventional OS (osteoblastic, chondroblastic, fibroblastic), telangiectatic OS, low-grade OS, small-cell OS, parosteal OS, periosteal OS, and high-grade surface OS. In this mini review, we will discuss the background of OS and histopathological patterns and clinical behaviour of the disease. Understanding the subtypes of OS and their pathogenesis is crucial for developing more precise and effective therapies for OS patients.
