title: Intracortical osteosarcoma.
abstract: Intracortical osteosarcomas originate in the bone cortex and represent the rarest type of osteosarcoma. We describe the clinical, radiological and histological features of an intracortical osteosarcoma occurring in the femur of a young man and discuss the pertinent features of this tumour compared to those previously reported.
