Codman's triangle
Codman’s triangle is a term used to describe the triangular area of new subperiosteal bone that is created when a lesion, often a tumour, raises the periosteum away from the bone. [1]
The main causes for this symptom are osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, and a subperiosteal abscess.[1]
