Cranial osteosarcoma is very rare in children, rendering the development of optimal treatment algorithms challenging. The authors present 3 cases of pediatric cranial osteosarcoma: a primary calvarial tumor, a cranial metastasis, and a primary osteosarcoma of the cranial base. A review of the literature demonstrates significant variation in the management of cranial osteosarcomas and the outcome for patients with these tumors. This series and literature review is presented to improve the understanding of pediatric cranial osteosarcoma and to reinforce the importance of maximal resection in optimizing outcome.

“…In a meta-analysis from 10 reports, only 11% of the 488 craniofacial osteosarcomas from 1984 to 2002 were located in the skull. 7 In contrast to osteosarcoma on long bones, which usually occur in the first to second decades of life, osteosarcomas of the head and neck typically occur later, after the second decade. The incidence of osteosarcoma is higher in men than in women with a ratio of 3:2.…”

Primary osteosarcoma of the calvarium is rare. A 22-year-old female patient was admitted for a progressively enlarging, indurated mass under her scalp for 6 months. A computed tomographic scan revealed a 4 x 3 x 2-cm3 osteolytic lesion over the right parietal cortex with a sunburst appearance. The patient underwent en bloc tumor resection using bicortical parietal craniectomy with a 2-cm margin of normal bone, including the tightly adherent periosteum over the tumor. Immediate cranioplasty was performed with split-thickness autogenous calvarial bone grafts. Histopathologic examination showed the tumor to be a primary high-grade osteosarcoma of the skull. She received postoperative chemotherapy. She has recovered well and remains without any evidence of disease at her most recent, 8-year follow-up. The key to disease-free survival in treating primary osteosarcoma of the calvarium is complete surgical resection with immediate reconstruction followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.

“…The incidence of primary osteogenic sarcomas of the skull is about 1% to 2% of all skull tumors [1] [2]. Reports are few and most combine skull lesions with the much more frequent Osteosarcoma of the maxillo-mandibular complex [3].…”

Background: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignancy and aggressive neoplasm of bone composed of spindle cells producing osteoid. The incidence of primary osteogenic sarcomas of the skull is about 1% to 2% of all skull tumors. Methods: We present an extraordinary case of osteosarcoma arising in the postero-temporal region of the skull. The clinical features, diagnosis and management are discussed. Results: A 34-year-old woman was operated in our department for mass, fixed to bone in the left postero-temporal area. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of osteogenic sarcoma. Conclusion: We review the literature of reported cases of primary osteogenic sarcomas of the skull to discuss the common clinical presentation, evaluation methods, and recommended treatment plans.
