o It is the second most common primary malignant tumor of bone, accounting for approximately 20% of

primary bone cancers.

o The most common nonhematologic primary malignancy of bone

o Onset can occur at any age; however, primary high-grade osteosarcoma occurs most commonly in the second

decade of life.

o Arise from multipotent mesenchymal cel s
