Extraskeletal Osteosarcoma Arising from Kidney: A Case Report

Journal Title: GUJARAT CANCER SOCIETY RESEARCH JOURNAL - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 2

Abstract

Osteosarcoma is a highly aggressive malignant mesenchymal origin tumour most commonly arising from bone. Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a very rare entity with very few reported cases worldwide. We hereby report of case encountered by us, a 65 year old male patient presenting with lump in right lumbar region. On CT scan study there was a large densely calcified mass lesion seen involving right Kidney without attachment to bone. Multiple pulmonary metastases were also noted most of which were showing internal calcification / ossification. We suspected extraskeletal osteosarcoma arising from right kidney, which was confirmed on histopathology examination. This was a very rare location demonstrating extraskeletal visceral origin of osteosarcoma.
