Osteosarcoma is a type of bone neoplasm that deve-lops in the osteoblastic cells that make up bone. It occurs more frequently in children, adolescents and young adults, its presentation is aggressive and patients are usually subjected to radical treatment with amputation of the affected limb.

We present the report of a patient with sequelae of osteosarcoma who underwent multidisciplinary treatment with application of tumor stent and epigastric-dorsal flap for preservation of the left thoracic extremity.

Keywords : Osteosarcoma; Thoracic limb amputation; Epigastric-dorsal flap; Tumor stent.
