“…A few cases of gastrointestinal, renal, and pancreatic metastases have also been previously reported. 5,6 The adrenal gland is a relatively common site of metastasis, especially for malignant epithelial tumors. 4 Metastatic adrenal masses are found in 27% of patients with malignant epithelial tumors during autopsy.…”

Osteosarcoma, a primary malignant tumor of the long bones, frequently metastasizes to the lungs. We report an unusual case of osteosarcoma metastatic to the right adrenal gland in a 37-yr-old male who presented 8 yr after remission with an adrenal mass. A preoperative diagnosis was made by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. FNA biopsy revealed pleomorphic oval cells with prominent nucleoli, spindle cells, and giant tumor cells. Diagnostic osteoid was readily seen on smears and was also detected by polarization of cell-block section. Immunocytochemical stains revealed positivity of tumor cells for vimentin and osteonectin. Cytokeratin stains were negative. The cytologic diagnosis of metastatic Osteosarcoma was made, which was later confirmed upon resection of tumor by histology. Although the role of FNA in the diagnosis of primary bone tumors, including osteogenic sarcoma (OGS), remains controversial, this case, however, demonstrates the value of FNA biopsy combined with immunocytochemistry performed on the aspirated material in diagnosing osteosarcoma from an unusual location such as the adrenal gland.

“…Bone scans are highly sensitive and specific, but not satisfactory for accurate localization of intra‐abdominal lesions. As more and more rare sites of extrapulmonary metastases are reported, 6–17 we believe that CT abdomen will be performed more often for localization of lesions for patients with positive bone scans, with this interesting lace‐like enhancement pattern being demonstrating more readily.…”

“…A review of the literature from 1985 to 1999 gives 12 reported cases of intra‐abdominal metastasis from osteosarcoma. These include metastasis to the liver, 6 pancreas, 7 kidneys, 8–10 stomach, 11 adrenal gland, 12 mesentery, 13 peritoneum, 14 retroperitoneum, 15 pelvic cavity, 16 and even intra‐abdominal metastases causing intestinal obstruction 17 . Other sites of metastases include the brain, 18 heart 19 and regional lymph nodes 20…”

Lace‐like enhancement pattern of osteosarcoma of rib and liver metastasis in CT scans

The rib is an uncommon site of osteosarcoma. With the use of adjuvant chemotherapy and aggressive surgical resection of the metastatic pulmonary lesions, extrapulmonary metastases are becoming more clinically evident. Primary rib osteosarcoma with extrapulmonary metastasis is exceedingly rare. A case is reported, showing that the pattern of metastasis of rib osteosarcoma is similar to that of primary bone osteosarcoma. The liver metastasis occurred after resection of the metastatic pulmonary lesions. A CT scan of the primary rib lesion and liver metastasis both showed a lace-like enhancement pattern, its histological appearance corresponding with neoplastic osteoid. With the increasing use of CT abdomen for localization of extrapulmonary metastases, lace-like enhancement may be seen more readily in the future.

“…Sites of extrapulmonary metastases in order of frequency were bone in 14, epidural in three, brain in two and soft tissue, liver, mediastinal, diaphragmatic involvement in one patient each. Other rare extrapulmonary sites of metastases in osteosarcoma are larynx, (Shimizu et al, 1994); kidney, (Kajikawa et al, 1993); heart, (Dalai et al, 1978;James et al, 1993); adrenal gland, (Potepan et al, 1992), and eyelid (Newman and Diloreto, 1987).…”
