Osteogenic sarcoma after the age of 50: a radiographic evaluation.
Twenty-four cases of primary osteosarcoma in individuals over the age of 50 are described. This represents 6% of all osteosarcomas and 80% of osteosarcomas occurring over the age of 50 at this institution. Radiographically, features were similar to osteosarcoma in younger individuals.
