Adrenal gland metastases from osteogenic sarcoma are rare and an unusual pattern of relapse. The recognition of solitary metastases, particularly when located in uncommon sites is very important for subsequent treatment. The authors describe the radiological features of an adrenal metastases from osteogenic sarcoma.

Adrenal gland metastasis from osteogenic sarcoma is extremely rare and is an atypical location for metastasis. Vascular hepatic exclusion techniques and the use of venovenous bypass with cardiac surgical techniques may be required to resect large adrenal masses that have invaded the inferior vena cava to achieve curative resection. The use of newer chemotherapeutic agents and aggressive surgical resection have prolonged the survival of patients with osteosarcoma.

Adrenal gland involvement as well as metastatic subcutaneous nodule from skeletal osteosarcoma are two extremely rare and unusual manifestations in the natural history of the disease. We herein report a 45 yr old female with both these uncommon occurrences, having large bilateral adrenal metastases and a metastatic subcutaneous nodule in fluorine-18 fluorodesoxy glucose- positron emission tomography the chest wall along with pulmonary metastasis arising from osteosarcoma of the mandible. Our (18)F-FDG-PET study provided all information needed about the disease status in a single examination. It is noteworthy that osteosarcoma of the jaws, thought to be relatively less aggressive compared to its counterpart in long bones, can occasionally give rise to widespread metastases, including atypical sites. A systematic review of the existing literature aiming to explore the patients' characteristics and clinical behavior of adrenal metastases from osteosarcoma, including the present case, was carried out. This was nearly always associated with pulmonary metastases with occasional association with brain or skeletal metastases. Peripheral long bones were the overwhelmingly common site of the primary, the present one being the first report of jaw bone being the primary site, giving rise to adrenal metastases. No age predilection was observed with male to female ratio of 3:1 in the small number of reported cases.
