    Author: Amritanand R, Venkatesh K, Cherian R, Shah A, Sundararaj GD.
    Journal: Eur Spine J; 2008 Sep; 17 Suppl 2(Suppl 2):S342-6. PubMed ID: 18421481.
    Abstract:
    Telangiectatic osteosarcoma (TOS) of the spine is rare accounting for only 0.08% of all primary osteosarcomas. Though a well described radio-pathological entity it is not often thought of as a cause of paraplegia. We describe the clinical, radiological and pathological features and discuss the treatment options of telangiectatic osteosarcoma of the dorsal spine presenting in a young man. The diagnostic pitfalls are discussed emphasising the fact that the diagnosis of TOS of the spine requires not only a multi modal approach of appropriate radiological and pathological tests but also an awareness of this condition.
