- Abstract
Gastrointestinal involvement in osteosarcoma is uncommon, with colonic spread being particularly rare. Symptoms range from abdominal pain and obstruction to anemia and melena. Chemotherapy for metastatic lesions has not been standardized, and surgery remains the treatment for selective candidates. We describe a rare occurrence of osteosarcoma metastasizing simultaneously to the small and large intestines in a 43-year-old man who presented with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding causing symptomatic anemia. Endoscopic examination revealed multiple nodules in the jejunum and colon consistent with metastatic osteosarcoma.
