Th ey were found among approximately 200 cases of limb-sparing surgery wi th chemotherapy. 1 patient had the unusual finding of a positive MRI s can with all other routine tests negative. The first and then the seco nd bone tumor were successfully removed with limb-sparing surgery. All 3 patients are doing well, with no evidence of disease.
