Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the elbow joint and the forearm reveal cortical destruction of the proximal radius. There is associated soft tissue mass in the proximal forearm.
Case Discussion
Initial radiograph was taken at the time of trauma, with similar findings interpreted as a radial head fracture.
The final diagnosis (biopsy proven) was osteosarcoma.
