%X Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESO) is a rare
malignant mesenchymal neoplasm accounting for 1% - 2% of all soft tissue
sarcomas that produce osteoid, bone, and/or chondroid material. Here we report
the first case of a retroperitoneal ESO in a 35-year-old pregnant woman. A
retroperitoneal ESO was incidentally found at cesarean section. Despite
treatment, she rapidly died from wide spread dissemination. We focus on
histological characteristics including immunohistochemical results and
differential diagnosis of ESO.
