Background:

Extraskeletal osteosarcomas are rare bone tumors that can occur outside the skeleton.
Primary osteosarcomas arising within parenchymal organs are exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

A case study of a 71-year-old male patient with a primary osteosarcoma of the liver.
Detailed presentation of pathological findings, including ultrastructural features, from surgical and autopsy specimens.

Findings:

The liver osteosarcoma exhibited distinct pathological characteristics.
Ultrastructural analysis provided further insights into the tumor's cellular origins and behavior.

Implications:

This case adds to the limited literature on primary hepatic extraskeletal osteosarcoma.
Understanding the differential diagnosis is crucial for accurate patient management and treatment strategies.
