    Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone cancer characterized by tumor cells that directly form bone or osteoid tissue. It is subclassified based on the histologic characteristics of the cells, such as osteoblastic osteosarcoma where tumor cells mostly produce bone-like osteoid, chondroblastic osteosarcoma where tumor cells predominantly form cartilage-like chondroid matrix, and fibroblastic osteosarcoma where spindle-shaped cells are most numerous and little matrix is formed.

    Pathophysiology

    Osteosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal sarcoma characterized by the direct formation of bone or osteoid by tumor cells. Osteosarcoma is subclassified depending on the histologic characteristics of the cells. When the majority of the cells produce osteoid, the tumor is called osteoblastic. Where production of chondroid matrix is predominant, the tumor is classified as a chondroblastic osteosarcoma. When spindle cells are in the majority and little matrix is formed, the term fibroblastic osteosarcoma is used.
