title: Osteoblastic osteogenic sarcoma in a 13-month-old girl.
abstract: Osteosarcoma is exceptional in early periods of life. Therefore osteosarcomas involving the bones of the hand are extremely rare. We present a case of an osteogenic sarcoma involving the second metacarpal bone of a 13-month-old girl who has been remaining free of disease, after treatment--radial amputation and chemotherapy pre- and postoperative--, for a period of 10 years in the follow-up.
