Overview

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a rare bone cancer which affects both adolescents and young adults. Osteosarcoma was classified as primary and secondary. Later the the World Health Organization sub-typed as intramedullary/central and surface osteosarcoma with a number of sub-types under each group.

Osteosarcoma (OS) may be classified into several subtypes based on World Health Organization and are as follows:^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[4]^[5]^[1]^[6]^[7]

Classification of osteosarcoma
Primary osteosarcoma	Conventional-intramedullary/central high grade (most common) further sub-typed as:	Osteoblastic (50%) Chondroblastic (25%) Fibroblastic (25%)
Secondary osteosarcoma	Unusual forms of osteosarcoma given below are viewed as subtypes of conventional osteosarcoma because their biological behavior is similar.	Osteoblastic osteosarcoma-sclerosing type Osteosarcoma resembling osteosarcoma Chondromyxoid fibroma‑like osteosarcoma Chondroblastoma-like osteosarcoma Clear-cell osteosarcoma Malignant fibrous histiocytoma‑like osteosarcoma Giant cell rich osteosarcoma-Epithelioid osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma (Primary) subtypes within central and surface tumours
subtypes	Osteosarcoma
CENTRAL (MEDULLARY)	A. Conventional high-grade central osteosarcoma (80%) B. Telangiectatic osteosarcoma (4%) C. Intraosseous well-differentiated (low-grade) osteosarcoma (1-2%) D. Small cell osteosarcoma (1-2%)
SURFACE (PERIPHERAL)	a. Parosteal (juxtacortical) well-differentiated (low-grade) osteosarcoma(4-6%) b. Periosteal osteosarcoma- low- to intermediate-grade osteosarcoma(<4%) c. High-grade surface osteosarcoma(1%)
