Abstract
Osteosarcoma presenting as a breast mass is a rare disease. We present a case of a 22 year old female who was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of left sided breast mass of 6months duration. On physical examination she had a huge mass on the left breast with no skin lesion and no lymph nodes. Pathology from biopsy showed osteosarcoma. Here we report the findings in detail along with current review of literature. Keywords: Osteosarcoma, Breast
