Parosteal Osteosarcoma

Dense ossified mass arising from the posterior metaphysis of the distal femur in a 20-ish yo person.

Classic age, Classic location, Classic appearance for parosteal type

Parosteal arises from the outer fibrous periosteum so sometimes you can see a slight cleavage plain between the mass and the cortex (not here).

Actually low grade so better than the classic osteosarcoma and the rarer periosteal type
