Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc. 2012;46(3):215-9. doi: 10.3944/aott.2012.2579.

Abstract

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma. Survival is related with the wide resection of the tumor. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy remains controversial. In our study, we present a patient with extraskeletal osteosarcoma of the thigh which was initially misdiagnosed as lipoma.
