Background FAM83H was initially identified as a protein essential for dental enamel formation. Recent reports have shown that FAM83H is also involved in the progression of human cancers in conjunction with tumor-associated molecules, such as MYC and β-catenin. However, the role of FAM83H in sarcoma has not yet been investigated. Methods The expression and roles of FAM83H and β-catenin were evaluated in human osteosarcomas from 34 patients and osteosarcoma cells. Results The expression of nuclear FAM83H, cytoplasmic FAM83H, and β-catenin were significantly associated with each other and significantly associated with shorter survival of osteosarcoma patients by univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, cytoplasmic expression of FAM83H was an independent indicator of shorter survival of osteosarcoma patients (overall survival; P
