Extraosseous osteosarcoma (EOO) is a rare form of sarcoma. There have been few reports of cases and outcome from an African population.Out of 112 cases of sarcomas seen at the UCH, Ibadan between 1986-2005, 5 were EOO. All presented late on account of initial excision without histology and outcomes were poor. EOO occurs in the black population of Sub-Saharan Africa. The outlook for these patients is still bleak.
骨外骨肉瘤(EOO)是一种罕见的肉瘤形式。关于非洲人群的病例及预后报告很少。在1986年至2005年间于伊巴丹大学学院医院(UCH)所见的112例肉瘤病例中,有5例为骨外骨肉瘤。所有病例均因最初未进行组织学检查就进行切除而延误诊断,预后较差。骨外骨肉瘤发生于撒哈拉以南非洲的黑人人群。这些患者的前景仍然黯淡。
