Caption

This 3D animation, reconstructed based on high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRXCT) scans, shows the main tumor mass (yellow) at the top of the fibula as well as the progression of the tumour into the other end of the bone. The malignant tumour is in yellow; the normal bone is in gray, and red delineates the medullary cavity.
