Zusammenfassung:We report a case of a 76‐year‐old man presenting with a 12‐month history of a solitary lesion on his scalp. The histopathology was consistent with a grade 2/3 osteosarcoma extending to the subcutis.

Given the exceedingly rare nature of PCO, we discuss the clinico‐pathological features of this case and those previously reported in the literature.
