Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESOS) is a rare variant of osteosarcoma which occurs exclusively in the soft tissue without any bone involvement. Subcutaneous ESOS, in particular, is very rare and is seen in <10% of cases. Here, we report a case of a subcutaneous tumor in the fourth web space of the left foot in a 73-year-old man. The diagnosis of ESOS was made on histology and by immunohistochemical reactivity to special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2), which is a sensitive, nuclear marker of osteoblastic differentiation. We present this case because of its rarity and the use of SATB2 immunohistochemistry to confirm the diagnosis.

Chondrosarcoma is a rare variant of bladder tumor and one of the rare types of soft tissue sarcoma. This case happened on a 36-year-old male who complained of lumps in his lower abdomen, accompanied by difficulties in passing urine and painful urination, without hematuria. We performed TURBT and histopathological examination showed low-grade chondrosarcoma. The patient was diagnosed with low-grade bladder chondrosarcoma. The patient was treated for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, after undergoing one cycle of chemotherapy, the patient refused to continue the therapy.

AbstractAt the age of 4 months, an infant was presented to us with a nodular subcutaneous tumor on the right thumb measuring 2cm, already seen prenatally via ultrasound. An MRI in sedation performed at the age of 4.5 months had no diagnostic specificity. By a biopsy at the age of 5 months malignancy could be excluded. Finally at the age of 16 months the tumor which had meanwhile grown to a monstrous size (5 cm of diameter) could be entirely removed by microsurgical technique maintaining the integrity of all intrinsic structures. The diagnosis of myxoid lipoblastoma was confirmed. According to literature, Lipoblastomas often present as connatal rapid growing soft tissue tumors and are benign. Total removal is essential for avoiding a local recurrence.

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a rare mesenchymal malignancy arising in soft tissue that produces osteoid, neoplastic bone, or chondroid material without demonstrable attachments to bone or periosteum. We report an instructive case of extraskeletal osteosarcoma in a 42-year-old woman recognized following acute traumatic injury of her left thigh.

Soft tissue ultrasound (ST-USS) has been shown to be of utmost importance in assessing patients with soft tissue infections in the emergency department or critical care unit. It aids in guiding the management of soft tissue infection based on the sonographic findings.
