Extraskeletal osteosarcoma: a case report.
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.
