Abstract
Background: Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESOS) is a rare kind of sarcoma with a low preoperative diagnosis and a poor prognosis. ESOS arising from abdominal mesentery is extremely rare. Increasing diagnostic methods and standardizing treatment protocols are crucial issues of ESOS.
Case presentation: We report the case of a 52-year-old female ESOS patient. She had a history of ovarian carcinoma (stage IIIC) surgery two years before, with five cycles of chemotherapy. A mass was found during postoperative examinations. A R0 surgical resection was performed. Post-operational pathological report plus intra-surgery findings supported a diagnosis of ESOS. She is still alive 10 months post-operationally, with routine blood and radiographical examinations.
Conclusion: Enhancing awareness of this extremely rare disease together with advancements in diagnostic methods will hopefully enable earlier recognition and initiation of treatment. Protocols for standardizing treatments require a larger multi-center collaboration and more data analysis.
期刊介绍:
World Journal of Surgical Oncology publishes articles related to surgical oncology and its allied subjects, such as epidemiology, cancer research, biomarkers, prevention, pathology, radiology, cancer treatment, clinical trials, multimodality treatment and molecular biology. Emphasis is placed on original research articles. The journal also publishes significant clinical case reports, as well as balanced and timely reviews on selected topics.
Oncology is a multidisciplinary super-speciality of which surgical oncology forms an integral component, especially with solid tumors. Surgical oncologists around the world are involved in research extending from detecting the mechanisms underlying the causation of cancer, to its treatment and prevention. The role of a surgical oncologist extends across the whole continuum of care. With continued developments in diagnosis and treatment, the role of a surgical oncologist is ever-changing. Hence, World Journal of Surgical Oncology aims to keep readers abreast with latest developments that will ultimately influence the work of surgical oncologists.
