Extraosseous Osteosarcoma: Unusual Presentation as a Medial Malleolar Mass- a Cytological Diagnosis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Osteosarcoma is a rare but important non-haematopoietic, intramedullary tumour of the bone. It is the most common primary tumour of the bone, exclusive of myeloma and lymphoma & accounts for 20% of the primary bone cancers. High-grade osteosarcoma occurs only in less than 1% individuals in 2nd decade of life. Here, we present a case of 55 years old female patient who presented with a medial malleolus region soft tissue swelling. Cytomorphological features were those of a malignant mesenchymal lesion and the possibility of osteosarcoma was suggested. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry.
