Review
Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is a surface-based bone lesion belonging to the group of benign chondrogenic tumors. The aim of this review is to familiarize the readers with imaging features and differential diagnosis of BPOP, also addressing pathological presentation and treatment options. The peak of incidence of BPOP is in the third and fourth decades of life, although it can occur at any age. Hands are the most common location of BPOP (55%), followed by feet (15%) and long bones (25%). On imaging, BPOP appears as a well-marginated mass of heterotopic mineralization arising from the periosteal aspect of the bone. Typical features of BPOP are contiguity with the underlying bone and lack of cortico-medullary continuity, although cortical interruption and medullary involvement have been rarely reported. Histologically, BPOP is a benign bone surface lesion characterized by osteocartilaginous proliferation with disorganized admixture of cartilage with bizarre features, bone and spindle cells. Differential diagnosis includes both benign-such as florid reactive periostitis, osteochondroma, subungual exostosis, periosteal chondroma and myositis ossificans-and malignant lesions-such as periosteal chondrosarcoma and surface-based osteosarcoma. Treatment consists of surgical resection. Local recurrences are common and treated with re-excision.Critical relevance statement Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation is a benign mineralized mass arising from the periosteal aspect of bone cortex. Multi-modality imaging characteristics, pathology features and differential diagnosis are here highlighted to familiarize the readers with this entity and offer optimal patient care.

Immunodeficient murine models are usually used as the preclinical models of osteosarcoma. Such models do not effectively simulate the process of tumorigenesis and metastasis. Establishing a suitable animal model for understanding the mechanism of osteosarcoma and the clinical translation is indispensable. The UMR-106 cell suspension was injected into the marrow cavity of Balb/C nude mice. Tumor masses were harvested from nude mice and sectioned. The tumor fragments were transplanted into the marrow cavities of SD rats immunosuppressed with cyclosporine A. Through muti-rounds selection in SD rats, we constructed orthotopic osteosarcoma animal models using rats with intact immune systems. The primary tumor cells were cultured in-vitro to obtain the immune-tolerant cell line. VX2 tumor fragments were transplanted into the distal femur and parosteal radius of New Zealand white rabbit to construct orthotopic osteosarcoma animal models in rabbits. The rate of tumor formation in SD rats (P1 generation) was 30%. After four rounds of selection and six rounds of acclimatization in SD rats with intact immune systems, we obtained immune-tolerant cell lines and established the orthotopic osteosarcoma model of the distal femur in SD rats. Micro-CT images confirmed tumor-driven osteolysis and the bone destruction process. Moreover, the orthotopic model was also established in New Zealand white rabbits by implanting VX2 tumor fragments into rabbit radii and femurs. We constructed orthotopic osteosarcoma animal models in rats with intact immune systems through muti-rounds in-vivo selection and the rabbit osteosarcoma model.

Review
INTRODUCTION
conventional parosteal osteosarcoma is an uncommon malignant bone tumor, comprising 4% of all osteosarcomas. Although rare, parosteal osteosarcoma is the most common type of osteosarcoma of the bone surface. We present the clinical, histological and imaging characteristics of a rare histologic variant of a parosteal osteosarcoma, review the literature and emphasize the importance of radio-pathological correlation as well as the interpretation of a representative biopsy in order to obtain the correct diagnosis.
CASE REPORT
a 36-year old woman began her condition one year prior to admission to the hospital with increased volume in the left knee and pain. Image studies showed a juxtacortical heterogeneous tumor localized on the posterior surface of the distal femoral metaphysis. An incisional biopsy was performed, with the diagnosis of a Parosteal Osteosarcoma and a wide surgical resection was undertaken. According to the findings of the surgical specimen, the diagnosis of a Parosteal Osteosarcoma with low grade chondrosarcoma and liposarcoma components was made. The knowledge of this rare parosteal osteosarcoma variant can lead the orthopedic oncologists to avoid overlooking the adipose component and provide adequate surgical margins.
CONCLUSION
we present the clinical, histological and imaging characteristics of a Parosteal Osteosarcoma with low grade liposarcoma and chondrosarcoma components.

Parosteal osteosarcomas (POS) are well-differentiated low-grade malignant sarcomas that are located on the surface of the bone. POS of the temporal bone is exceptionally rare, with less than a hand full of cases present in modern literature. Here, we report a POS of the temporal bone found incidentally and with an uncharacteristic presentation. We also review the unique imaging and histopathological findings of this entity and discuss why developing a broad differential diagnosis and proceeding with early intervention are considered imperative in this disease.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor affecting the bone but is a rare occurrence in the head and neck region. Complete surgical resection with wide surgical margins is currently the main treatment strategy for osteosarcoma but can be hard to achieve due to the complex anatomy of the head and neck. We report the first case of primary high-grade dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma arising from the temporal bone in published literature. The 19-year-old patient presented with a left retroauricular lesion measuring 3 cm in diameter. Radiographic imaging and biopsy suggested the diagnosis of intermediate-grade chondrosarcoma, but definitive histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma. The tumor was resected with wide margins, removing the underlying temporal bone, periosteum and overlying soft tissue through a lateral temporal bone resection. The middle ear was reconstructed with cartilage grafting, and the dura of the posterior and middle cranial fossa was covered using temporal fascia grafts and local transpositional flaps. The patient is recurrence free 10 months after treatment. This report was assembled following CARE [The CARE guidelines (for Case Reports)] guidelines and describes clinical, histological, and radiological manifestations of our patient's rare clinical entity and may provide more data in treating patients with osteosarcoma affecting the anatomically complex head-and-neck region.

INTRODUCTION
parosteal osteosarcoma is an extramedullary malignant bone tumor in which cells produce osteoid, represents less than 5% of all osteosarcomas, it occurs predominantly in women between the second and fourth decade of life. It is often located in the distal region of the femur and proximal tibia. Clinically it presents with increased volume and thigh or knee pain. Due to its low incidence and clinical features, a clinical case of femoral parosteal osteosarcoma is presented, with description of the surgical technique performed.
CASE REPORT
a 14-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of increased volume and right thigh pain. Radiological studies revealed a bone lesion with malignant characteristics, for which she was sent to third-level hospital where oncology study protocol was set up; consisting in two percutaneous biopsies of the lesion with Jamshidi needle, which were histopathology reported as negative for malignant cells. The pulmonary high-resolution computed tomography showed metastasis and a Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy showed increased osteoblastic activity in the right femoral shaft. Given the results, is confirmed the need of en-bloc resection and intercalary prosthesis implantation with adjuvant chemotherapy.
CONCLUSION
the intercalary prosthesis is a suitable therapeutic option in limb-salvage surgery for patients with femoral parosteal osteosarcoma.

INTRODUCTION
Parosteal osteosarcomas are low-grade bony malignancies that are treated primarily with surgical resection and reconstruction. This report discusses a unique case of a pediatric patient who presented with a parosteal osteosarcoma of the distal radius causing extensive erosive mass effect and growth disturbance of the adjacent ulna. Likely due to their slow-growing nonaggressive nature, parosteal osteosarcomas have not been previously described to abut adjacent bony structures through direct contact. The patient presented in a significantly delayed manner due to social circumstances, inadvertently revealing this novel behavior. This report reviews this rare case and describes the current understanding of this tumor.
CASE PRESENTATION
The patient is a 13-year-old male who presented with a parosteal osteosarcoma of his distal radius. He presented with a palpable wrist mass and wrist stiffness. He presented in a delayed manner with advanced local disease due to social factors. Imaging revealed an osseous radial mass that abutted the ulna and likely stunted its growth. The patient ultimately underwent complex resection and allograft reconstruction of both his distal radius and ulna. Intraoperative pathology was confirmed to have negative tumor margins. Allograft reconstruction of the radius and ulna was performed utilizing patient-specific custom cutting guides. At the 6-month postoperative visit, the patient had no recurrence of the mass, minimal pain, and had almost regained range of motion of the extremities. Clinical radiographs at the 6-month postoperative visit demonstrated allograft incorporation.
CONCLUSIONS
A previously unreported case of pediatric parosteal osteosarcoma of the distal radius with erosion of the adjacent ulna through direct contact is presented. The challenges in and the importance of arriving at a definitive diagnosis in a timely manner for the proper treatment of this malignancy are emphasized.

Recurrent parosteal sarcomas with vascular involvement are rare and present unique challenges in their diagnosis and management. We report the case of a 21-year-old woman with parosteal osteosarcoma of the left distal femur, encasing the popliteal vessels. En bloc transarticular resection of the distal femur and popliteal vessels was performed, followed by reconstruction using a modular prosthesis and a saphenous vein autograft for both the artery and vein. On the 1st postoperative day, the patient developed an arterial thrombus requiring reintervention with a jump polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft. Histopathology confirmed parosteal osteosarcoma. After a disease-free survival of 41 months, the patient experienced local recurrence involving the PTFE graft, leading to graft compression, erosion, and subsequent thrombosis. Despite these complications, limb salvage was possible due to adequate collateral blood supply. This case highlights the feasibility of limb salvage surgery in select cases of parosteal osteosarcoma with vascular involvement.
