ABSTRACT

The case of a male patient aged 36 years is presented. The clinical characteristics are the following: after a light trauma, he had fever, pain, temperature increase in the right thigh. It was diagnosed as a possible abscessed hematoma and the patient was admitted in the hospital and surgically treated. After discharging and two-months evolution, he came back to the hospital presenting a torpid evolution with a tumoral-kind volume increase. He was readmitted, studied and evaluated by a team of multidiscipline specialists, who decided a new surgical intervention based on the laboratory and imaging studies. Tumor was removed (at the level of external vastus) with oncologic margin and send to pathologic anatomy. It was informed as a pleomorphic sarcoma. An adjuvant chemotherapeutic treatment was applied later. Currently, the patient has survived 10 years and is totally asymptomatic.
