case_images: The periapical radiography suggested radicular reabsorption and diffuse bone rarefaction of the 34 periapex; the patient was followed up by endodontic treatment of the tooth with necrotic pulp (Figure 1). The external cortical view showed significant radiopacity similar to "sunrays", suggesting a diagnosis of osteosarcoma (Figure 1).
