Abstract

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a rare disease that uncommonly affects the upper extremity. A 46-year-old African American man presented for evaluation of a right middle finger mass. Excisional biopsy demonstrated extraskeletal osteosarcoma of the soft tissues. We performed a transmetacarpal ray resection.

Keywords: Finger; hand; osteosarcoma.
