Abstract
Fourteen telangiectatic osteosarcomas are reported. They are rare, clinically and radiologically aggressive lesions, involving mainly the femurs of young patients, often misdiagnosed as aneurysmal bone cysts. An explanation for a characteristic early radiological appearance consisting of regular parallel striations of the shaft is suggested.
