Abstract
The most prevalent primary malignant bone tumour in children and adolescents is osteosarcoma. Osteosarcomas are extremely aggressive tumours with a poor prognosis historically. However, with the addition of adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the survival rate has significantly increased. This case report describes a 18-year-old boy who had a left fibula osteosarcoma whose progress was worsened by recurring pneumothoraces associated with the tumour. Recurrent pneumothoraces are a relatively uncommon complication of osteosarcoma, but they provide a significant obstacle to patient care that improves outcomes and quality of life.
