Abstract
Osteogenic sarcoma can arise in soft tissue although it is much more commonly observed as a primary bone tumor. There is debate as to whether extraskeletal osteogenic sarcoma (ESOS) should be managed as a soft tissue or a bone tumor. Biologically, the tumor is typically the osteoblastic subtype, and can arise spontaneously or after irradiation.
