A 50 years old male presented with ulcer and swelling in left leg for 2 years. X-ray showed soft tissue sarcoma and excision was done. A diagnosis of extraskeletal osteosarcoma was made. Extraskeletal osteosarcomas are rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasms. By definition, these are located in soft tissue without primary involvement of bone or periosteum. Since these tumours mimic other soft tissue tumours and tumour like conditions, radiology and histopathology along with tumour markers studies are important in diagnosis of this tumour.
一名50岁男性因左腿溃疡和肿胀2年就诊。X线显示为软组织肉瘤,遂行切除术。诊断为骨外骨肉瘤。骨外骨肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性间叶性肿瘤。根据定义,这些肿瘤位于软组织,不累及骨或骨膜。由于这些肿瘤与其他软组织肿瘤及肿瘤样病变相似,放射学、组织病理学以及肿瘤标志物研究对该肿瘤的诊断很重要。
