Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumour with a bimodal peak. But its extraskeletal variant is very rare. It arises exclusively in soft tissue without at any skeletal attachment. It accounts for 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It is usually diagnosed as an incidental finding during imaging. Here, we are presenting a case of extraskeletal osteosarcoma diagnosed incidentally during imaging in a 30 years old male for its rarity.
骨肉瘤是最常见的原发性恶性骨肿瘤，具有双峰发病高峰。但其骨外变异型非常罕见。它仅发生于软组织，与任何骨骼均无附着。它占所有软组织肉瘤的2%。通常在影像学检查时偶然发现。在此，我们报告一例30岁男性患者在影像学检查时偶然诊断出的骨外骨肉瘤病例，因其十分罕见。
