Background: Osteosarcoma, a primary bone malignancy in children and adolescents, frequently metastasizes to the lungs, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Lung Metastases: At diagnosis, 15–20% of patients present with detectable lung metastases. Chest computed tomography (CT) is vital for the early detection and monitoring of these metastases. Lung involvement typically presents as multiple nodules of varying sizes and can include atypical features such as cavitation, cystic lesions, ground-glass halos, intravascular tumor thrombi, and endobronchial disease. Additional Findings: Pleural metastasis often occurs alongside pulmonary disease, and complications like spontaneous pneumothorax may arise. Additional findings may include thoracic lymphadenopathy, cardiac tumor thrombus, and chest wall deposits. Conclusion: Familiarity with these imaging patterns is essential for radiologists to ensure timely diagnosis and effective management. This review highlights the critical role of chest CT in detecting and characterizing osteosarcoma metastasis.
