Abstract
Abstract
Background
Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is an extremely rare malignancy that accounts for 1% of soft tissue sarcoma and 4.3% of all osteosarcoma. Extraskeletal osteosarcoma can develop in a patient between the ages of 48 and 60 years. The incidence of extraskeletal osteosarcoma is slightly higher in male patients than in females.
Case presentation
A 50-year-old Caucasian male patient presented with a 6-month history of intermittent lower-left back pain that limits his activity. Prior ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography scan showed a diagnosis of kidney stone and tumor in the lower-left abdomen. The computed tomography urography with contrast revealed a mass suspected as a left retroperitoneal malignant tumor. Hence, the tumor was resected through laparotomy and the patient continued with histopathological and immunohistochemistry examination with the result of extraskeletal osteosarcoma.
Conclusion
Extraskeletal osteosarcoma presents diagnostic challenges requiring multimodal examination, including histological and immunohistochemistry analyses. This case underscores the aggressive nature and poor prognosis despite undergoing the current suggested treatment.
