Bone cancer: Osteogenic sarcoma is a form of bone cancer. Most osteogenic sarcomas occur around the knee, either above or below the knee cap. If it is in the tibia, it is likely just below the knee cap. The tibia is the large bone going from the knee to the ankle and rarely the sarcoma may occur in the part near the ankle, rather than the knee. Treatment requires chemotherapy and surgery.
