Figure 2

14-year-old patient (n. 7) with osteosarcoma of the distal femur with multiple bone metastases. The tumour was very voluminous and painful and the patient was not able to walk. The goal of the surgery was to allow the child to walk but was not curative. The resection margins were classified R2 by the pathologist and all the observers. On the left: preoperative MRI. On the right: postoperative MRI of the resected specimen.
