Abstract

A patient with telangiectatic osteosarcoma of the proximal fibula while receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, developed pulmonary and, later, mesenteric metastases. The pulmonary metastases were resected and the mesenteric metastasis was eradicated with surgery and intra‐arterial cis‐diamminedichloroplatinum II. This represents an additional example of an alteration in the clinical pattern of metastases induced by chemotherapy and the ability to achieve cure with a multidisciplinary approach.
