SARCOMA OF THE THIGH


This elderly male came with a slow growing thigh tumor for 5 years. It appeared to be a sarcoma of the medial compartment of the thigh. We did a compartment excision. The specimen appears to be a liposarcoma on sectioning. He has an incidental right groin hernia that we will fix in the future.


Medial compartment excision

Specimen-it appears to be a liposarcoma

ADDENDUM (5/23/12)-The patient is doing well-the wound is still draining but slowing down.
