To determine the age and gender distribution and imaging features of low-grade central osteosarcoma (LGCOS) of the long bones and pelvis and to discuss our findings in the context of lesions for which LGCOS has been mistaken. We reviewed 99 cases of LGCOS collected between 1919 and 2002 from our ins...
