A patient presented with swelling on the outer side of the knee. Physical examination and radiological tests revealed a mass, and a needle biopsy revealed a soft tissue sarcoma. We performed surgery to remove the tumor with wide margins (including the proximal fibula) and close the resulting cavity with a gastrocnemius flap and skin graft, following a diagnosis and radiotherapy.
CASE 82: Leg-Located Liposarcoma
- Hits: 181
A patient presented with complaints of swelling and pain in the leg. Physical examination and radiological tests revealed a soft tissue mass, and a needle biopsy revealed a soft tissue sarcoma. The diagnosis was made, and following radiotherapy, the tumor was removed along with the bone cortex with clean margins. The resulting cavity was filled with bone cement, and the surgery was performed to strengthen it with a titanium anatomical plate.
A patient presented with swelling in the leg, and physical examination and radiological tests revealed a soft tissue mass, which was then diagnosed as soft tissue sarcoma via needle biopsy.
CASE 84: Leg Leiomyosarcoma
- Hits: 130
An unplanned intervention was performed at another hospital due to a mass in the Kruris region, and the pathology result showed a soft tissue sarcoma with positive surgical margins. The patient underwent bed resection (removal of residual tumor with clean margins) surgery, and following wound healing, the patient was referred to radiation oncology.
A patient presented with swelling and a wound in the leg (cruris) region. Clinical examination and radiological investigations revealed a soft tissue tumor. Needle biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma (Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor). Since no metastases were detected in subsequent scans, and due to the open wound, the tumor was removed with wide resection and clean margins. The resulting space was reconstructed with an island flap. Following wound healing, the patient was referred to radiation oncology.
CASE 86: Leg-Located Rhabdomyosarcoma
- Hits: 161
A patient presented with swelling in the leg. Physical examination and radiological tests revealed a soft tissue mass, and a needle biopsy revealed a soft tissue sarcoma. The patient was diagnosed with tibial carcinoma (TCC). Scans revealed no metastases. Following radiotherapy, extensive resection of the patient's attached bone and existing knee prosthesis was performed, with a portion of the removed bone recovered using liquid nitrogen. Reconstruction was then carried out using a proximal tibia tumor resection prosthesis and a gastrocnemius muscle flap.
A patient presented with swelling in the leg. Physical examination and radiological tests revealed a soft tissue mass, and a needle biopsy revealed a soft tissue sarcoma. The diagnosis was made. The patient, who had no metastases detected in the scans, underwent surgery to remove the tumor with clean margins via wide resection following radiotherapy.

CASE 91: Ankle Fibrosarcoma
- Hits: 143
A patient presented with swelling in the back of the ankle. Physical examination and radiological tests revealed a soft tissue mass, and a needle biopsy revealed a soft tissue sarcoma.
An unplanned procedure was performed at another hospital due to a mass in the ankle region, and the pathology result showed a soft tissue sarcoma with positive surgical margins. The patient underwent bed resection (removal of residual tumor with clean margins) and closure of the resulting cavity with a counterflow sural flap. Following wound healing, the patient was referred to radiation oncology.
A young female patient, who had previously undergone surgery for synovial sarcoma in the ankle and was recommended amputation due to recurrence, had the tumor removed with clean margins. The tumor was then transferred to the tibialis posterior nerve using the sural nerve taken from the opposite leg, and the resulting space was filled with the saphenous nerve.
Due to swelling and tenderness in the inner ankle region, an unplanned procedure was performed at another hospital, and the pathology result showed a soft tissue sarcoma with positive surgical margins. The patient underwent bed resection (removal of residual tumor with clean margins) and reconstruction of the resulting cavity with a posterior tibial artery perforator flap. Following wound healing, the patient was referred to radiation oncology.
A patient who presented to another center with complaints of swelling and pain in the sole of the foot and was treated with injection therapy for a preliminary diagnosis of heel spur, applied to our center due to the worsening of his symptoms over time. Upon examination and radiological tests, a soft tissue mass was detected, and a needle biopsy revealed soft tissue sarcoma.
