A case of soft tissue sarcoma of right forearm managed by groin flap

Abstract: 

Soft tissue sarcomas constitute 1% of all adult malignancies. Of them 35% occurs in lower limbs and 15% occurs in trunks and 10% occurs in upper limbs .Here we present a middle patient with swelling over right forehand since 2 yrs, operated elsewhere 6 months back with recurrence. Wide local excision with a groin flap was done .Patient has been followed up regularly with adjuvant chemotherapy. A proper wide excision with reconstruction followed by physiotherapy can have better results with no functional deformity.
