Osteosarcoma is a rare type of cancer, whose incidence in Brazil is estimated in 350 new cases/ year presenting little literature in mental health. Characterized as a narrative review, this study aims at discussing the psychological impact brought about osteosarcoma in the young patient. It is an expository-argumentative and discursive work, which explores a specific theme, anchored in the national and international data base resources, from the years 2000 to 2015. The results point out to a disease that can cause existential crisis and demands psychosocial treatment.

Keywords : Osteosarcoma; mental health; psychology.
