FEMUR - Osteogenic sarcoma

Description
This specimen shows the lower end of the femur, including one femoral condyle. There is a large cavity, which has presumably been occupied by necrotic tumour; the tumour extends through the cortical bone at one side, while on the other side, although the cortical bone is intact at this point, tumour tissue has penetrated the cortex to expand the periosteum.
