Abstract

Xiang Salim*, David Paton, Anton Lambers and Richard Carey Smith

An Extraosseous Osteosarcoma (EOS) arising in mesentery is exceedingly rare with only six previous cases documented in English literature worldwide. This manuscript describes the clinical, radiological and histological features of the first known case of mesenteric EOS in Australia. The collation of additional cases will help ameliorate our understanding of its clinical course and guide appropriate management, planning and prognostication.
