We report on the case of a 24-year-old black male who presented to the orthopedic service with a parosteal osteosarcoma of the distal tibia. There have been 206 cases reported on this tumor in all the world's literature, with the distal femur being the most common location; this case report is rare, therefore, because of the unusual location of the tumor. This article was prepared in order to familiarize the general medical community with the occurrence of the tumor and to provide some general background information and treatment recommendations for parosteal osteosarcoma.
