Extraskeletal Osteosarcoma of the Gluteal Region
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Extraskeletal osteosarcomas are rare malignant mesenchymal tumors. They mimic many bone and cartilage forming soft tissue tumors and tumor like conditions. Most cases pursue an aggressive clinical course with high rate of local recurrence and metastasis. We report a case of extraskeletal osteosarcoma of the left gluteal region in a 50 year old male with varied histology. It was diagnosed as malignant mesenchymoma but, immunohistochemistry excluded its possibility.
