We describe a case of osteosarcoma of the scaphoid bone, which to our knowledge is only the second reported case of osteosarcoma in the carpus. A 38-year-old man complained of intense pain in the right wrist and had curettage and a bone graft for a lesion in the scaphoid. Histological examination showed this to be an osteosarcoma. Below-elbow amputation was performed and adjuvant chemotherapy given. There has been no evidence of recurrence or metastases at 33 months after amputation.
