RESUMEN
Composite sarcoma of bone is a very rare entity that primarily affects adolescent and young adult patients. It usually combines areas of liposarcoma and osteosarcoma, and up to 60% of cases have metastatic disease at diagnosis. It is a highly aggressive pathology with intrinsic resistance to bone sarcoma conventional treatments. The prognosis is poor, with long-term survival rates not exceeding 30%. We present the case of an adolescent female diagnosed with an aggressive composite sarcoma of bone with rhabdomyosarcoma foci and loco-regional lymph node involvement.
