Abstract
Primary extraosseous osteosarcomas (EOO) are very rare and extraosseous osteosarcoma of the parotid gland is even rarer. When they occur, EOO pursues a very aggressive cause. The consequence of the rarity of this malignancy and its aggressive course is that treatment guidelines are not yet standardized. We present a case of extraosseous osteosarcoma of the parotid gland we encountered in our practice.
