    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.
