Purpose. Extraskeletal osteosarcoma represents an unusual soft-tissue sarcoma that historically is reported to carry an exceptionally poor prognosis.The objectives of this study were to use a prospectively gathered sarcoma database to test the prevailing clinical bias and more accurately describe the natural history, characterize the prognostic features, estimate survival and evaluate treatment strategies for this unusual sarcoma.
