Extraskeletal osteosarcoma: An uncommon variant with rare metastatic sites detected with FDG PET/CT

Indian J Med Paediatr Oncol. 2014 Jan;35(1):96-8. doi: 10.4103/0971-5851.133732.

Abstract

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESOS) is a rare malignancy, which commonly presents with metastatic disease. Like their osteogenic counterparts, these tumors commonly metastasize to lungs and bones. We report the fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography findings in a case of ESOS presenting with a combination of rare metastatic sites such as brain, kidney and the bone marrow.

Keywords: Extraskeletal; fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography; osteosarcoma.
