Osteosarcoma is rare, accounting for less than 1% of adult malignancies and 3-6% at the pediatric age, with peak incidences in adolescence and after 60 years of age. 1 The incidence of osteosarcoma in the bones of hand has been reported to be low, around 0.9%. 1 We report a 37-year-old female patient who presented with swelling in the distal phalanx of ring finger of left hand since 3 months associated with pain. Imaging studies were consistent with a destructive lesion. Histological examination revealed osteoblastic osteosarcoma of phalanx.
