Mesenteric extraskeletal osteosarcoma with telangiectatic features: a case report

Abstract: Background: Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor, with a predominant occurrence in the extremities. Only two cases of mesenteric extraskeletal osteosarcoma have been documented. We describe an unusual case of extraskeletal osteosarcoma with telangiectatic features occurring in the mesentery.

“…On the other hand, soft-tissue osteoma consists of mature lamellar bone with normal osteocytes and dense connective tissue within the marrow spaces [22]. On imaging, the mineralization of osteosarcoma is usually irregular, poorly circumscribed, and less developed than that of soft-tissue ABC [23]. Microscopic features that support a benign process include bland cytology, low mitotic activity, and lack of necrosis [10].…”

“…EOS most commonly affects individuals older than 30 and is rarely encountered during the first two decades of life (17). EOS differs from STABC in that it usually has an ill-defined rim on X-rays and is more prone to becoming malignant.…”

“…The patient responded well to the treatment, showing no signs of relapse 22. Another case of rare EOS with telangiectatic features occurring in the mesentery has been described by Lee et al24 The patient was a 67-year-old male who presented with blood-tinged stool of 1 month’s duration. Curative resection of the tumor was performed, and the excised tumor showed large multilocular cysts containing old hematomas and necrotic debris.…”
