Abstract
Osteosarcoma occurs mostly in adolescence, this being the primary bone tumor (malignant) formed by the production of immature bone. Immature bone cell's production occurs from the premature bone cells. The commonly used treatments form is lesions removal. Chemotherapy is also used to treat metastasis of the osteoid cells (cancerous). Sometimes the micro metastasis can't be diagnosed in time to can be cured with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Pulmonary metastatic disease is the most common complication of the osteosarcoma (musculoskeletal cancer). I have presented a case of osteosarcoma of right proximal tibia in an18year old boy who come to the hospital for swelling and pain which were increasing during walking. Before that he hadn't any complaints in his knees. Magnetic resonance imaging was done by which the diagnosis was confirmed. After that, tumor resection was performed and post-operative chemotherapy was administered. The case report states that the adolescents age group should be properly monitored because they have the highest risk of suspicion by premature bone growth of osteoid.

I am presenting a case of swollen knee pain that emerged as osteosarcoma of high degree
We presented a case of traditional osteosarcoma of right proximal tibia that had been managed with multicentric approach
Summary
Osteosarcoma are uncommon malignant bone tumors, which can develop with the formation of immature bone or osteoid. The patients with osteosarcoma have the most of complaints regarding lesions, restrained joints and other movements; palpable mass including regional pain are observed as physical findings. An 18 year old male was come to our hospital with complaints of mild knee pain on right leg and swelling in the last 5 months. He did not suffer any pain before this. On examination painful swelling on proximal end of tibia was noted; it was warm, tender on palpation [7-9]. The symptoms such as palpable mass and pain increasing on walking were present. Absence of osteoid was indicated in the histological findings of this lesion
