It has been stated that genitourinary sarcomas are not common in adults and that they had been estimated at less than 2.7% of all sarcomas. [1-2] It had also been iterated that extra-osseous paratesticular soft tissue osteosarcoma is an extremely uncommon type of malignant tumor. Hong R, et al. [3] stated that due to the rarity of para-testicular osteosarcoma; its histogenesis; treatment; and as well as its specific survival rates were not available.Osteosarcoma of the testis refers to a testicular tumor that is composed of pure osteoid forming malignant cells with no skeletal origin. Gordetsky J [4] Due to the extreme rarity of primary and metastatic osteosarcomas of the testis and the scrotal contents; it would be envisaged that majority of clinicians globally would not be familiar with the presentation; diagnosis; treatment and biological behaviour of the disease. The ensuing article on primary osteosarcoma of testis and para-testicular tissues: a review and update of the Literature is divided into two parts: (A) Overview and (B) Miscellaneous narrations; summations; and discussions related to case reports; case series; and studies related to osteosarcomas of the testis and para-testicular tissues. AimTo review and update the literature on primary osteosarcomas of the testis and Para testicular tissues. MethodInternet data bases were searched including Google; Google

“…3 Extra skeletal osteosarcoma of the paratesticular structures is extremely rare and to our knowledge, the present patient represents the fourth reported case of a primary extra skeletal osteosarcoma of the scrotum. 4 The SAT B2 expression helps to distinguish osteoblastic differentiation from their mimickers. 1 It proved to be a valuable reliable marker in differentiating extraskeletal osteosarcomas from other paratesticular sarcomas arising in the scrotum wall.…”

SATB2 is a nuclear protein that plays a critical role in osteoblast lineage commitment. Diagnosing extra skeletal osteosarcomas at rare sites can be quite challenging as it might mimic hyalinized stroma. The utility of SATB2 expression in osteosarcomas and other bone and soft tissue tumours is an useful adjunct to histopathology in diagnosing these rare lesions. A 69 year old male, presented with scrotal swelling since 8 months. He underwent left sided orchidectomy because of the clinical suspicion of malignancy. Macroscopy revealed a solid mass in the para testicular tissue with no involvement of the testicular tissue. Cut surface is whitish, firm and homogenous. Microscopy showed malignant soft tissue tumor with areas showing osteoid differentiation and SAT B2 helped in confirmation of diagnosis by highlighting the osteoblastic nature of cells. Hence a diagnosis of Primary extra skeletal paratesticular osteosarcomas was made.
