Abstract

Two patients, aged six and eight years, having metaphyseal osteolytic and osteoblastic multifocal osteosarcoma are described. The condition is named "metaphyseal multifocal osteosarcoma". The metaphyseal areas are the sites of the pathological process. It can be postulated that a certain intensity of growth activity is the predominant factor in this condition and that this accounts for its multicentered presentation.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
