With clinicoradiologic correlation, skeletal osteosarcoma generally is easily diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Because of the older age of most patients with extraskeletal osteosarcoma and its generally nonspecific radiographic features, extraskeletal osteosarcoma may not be easily recognized by FNAB and most likely requires incisional biopsy to establish a definitive diagnosis in most cases.
