Abstract
Osteosarcomas occurring in the extraskeletal system are known as extraskeletal osteosarcomas (ESOS). They are rare, highly malignant tumors, associated with poor prognosis Di et al. World J Clin Cases 11(3):662-668 (2023). This is a case report of a gentleman nearing 60s with a liver mass with impending rupture. He underwent resection of the liver mass and was diagnosed to have with ESOS. He underwent a right hepatectomy on an urgent basis. He had an uneventful postoperative recovery. The histopathology report showed a poorly differentiated malignant neoplasm consistent with osteosarcoma. The patient is doing well 75 days after discharge and currently receiving adjuvant chemotherapy with ifosfamide, adriamycin, and cisplatin. We have also done a comprehensive literature review of this rare tumor. It is an elusive disease that is difficult to diagnose radiologically. The treatment includes a combination of surgery and adjuvant treatment.
