This digital library houses the book on Oncology and Orthopedic Oncosurgery.

It includes academic lectures, presentations from national and international congresses, published papers, case discussions, performed surgical procedures, and proprietary techniques developed.

The digital format was chosen because the web allows the inclusion of texts with numerous visual resources, such as images and videos, which would not be possible in a printed book.

The content is intended for students, healthcare professionals, and the general public interested in the field.

In 1992 there was no magnetic resonance imaging and in this location and age group our diagnosis was chondroblastoma and we indicated intalesional curettage surgery (biopsy resection), via medial access, published in the Revista Basileira de Ortopedia (Link:   http://www.rbo .org.br/PDF/32-3/1997_mar_05.pdf  ), figures 5 to 12.

This patient is doing well, with no functional or respiratory complaints despite having multiple pulmonary metastases from chondroblastoma. Some nodules were removed for diagnosis, confirming benign chondroblastoma, without any atypia. The patient has not had any treatment and has multiple calcified pulmonary nodules. This case was published in the Brazilian Journal of Orthopedics, which can be accessed via Link:  http://www.rbo.org.br/PDF/30-11-12/ndz95850.pdf
