Abstract
Multifocal osteosarcoma (MOS) is a rare variant of osteosarcoma that is defined by two or more tumors at any site of the peripheral or axial skeleton. MOS can be categorized into two types: synchronous (multiple lesions that appear to develop within 6 months) and metachronous (new lesions that develop over a time interval longer than 6 months)). Synchronous MOS first appears during childhood or early adolescence and has been reported to account for approximately 0.4-4.2% of all osteosarcoma cases, which occurs in nearly symmetrical and multiple locations in the metaphyseal of long bones.
