“…Studies in extremity sarcomas have demonstrated improved local control rates when surgery was combined with radiotherapy. Globally, the sensitivity of sarcomas to irradiation is low [ 14 ]. However, there is no consensus regarding use of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.…”

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor of the smooth muscle, but relatively frequent in the stomach and the small intestine. The mesocolic site is rare. Globally, leimyosarcoma represents less than 0, 1% of the malignant tumors found in the colon and the anus. Because of the similarities with other digestive tumors, namely mesenchymatous or benign tumors of the smooth muscle, the diagnosis of a pleomorphic sarcoma remains difficult even at the histological stage. Surgery is the mainstay of the therapy. We report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the mesocolon and discuss about its main characteristics in the view of the current literature about this pathological condition.

“…The disadvantages are that a tumour may not respond to chemotherapy and a potentially resectable tumour may become inoperable. Chemotherapy may also worsen the performance status of the patient [ 14 ]. Several studies, most of them non-randomized have not shown any consistent benefit withNACT.…”

“…Although our patient had sarcoma, given the rapidly progressive nature of disease after surgery, flap was applied and followed by post-operative protocol for viability. It's been reported that patients with poorly differentiated sarcoma, had an increased chance of survival [9]. However, to confirm radiological and clinical findings, cytogenetics and chemotherapy was started after 2 weeks of the operation, the patient improved, and flap continued to heal without signs of congestion (Figure 4).…”

Propeller flap is a standard procedure for lower limb reconstructing defect. Few cases of propeller flap used in sarcoma induced defect have been reported. Here we report a patient with Ewing's sarcoma who presented with left ankle mass.Following Doxorubicin/Cisplatin-Neoadjuvant the patient was admitted with swelling and biopsy confirmed poorly differentiated sarcoma. Per FNCLCC grading system for histologic type, MRI and cytogenetics, antitumor treatment of sarcoma was done, and patient underwent combined surgery for tumor resection and propeller flap was done.

“…cT scan helps to delineate size and extent as well as relationship with nearby vessels, organs, and skeletal structures. it also detects metastasis and gives crucial information regarding plan for surgical resection of tumor (Kumar V et al, 2012). liposarcomas are classified based on histology, morphology, and cytogenetic differences.…”

Accounting for only 0.1-0.2 % of total malignancies and grow out of the retroperitoneal organs, retroperitoneal neoplasms are an uncommon yet significant group of neoplasms. Most essential retroperitoneal neoplasms emerge from mesodermal framework with liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma together, representing above 80 % of essential retroperitoneal sarcomas, which is a difficult to treat condition for its localized aggression and clinical particularity. Remaining retroperitoneal masses emerge prevalently from nervous system. Difficulties encountered by surgeons during resection of a retroperitoneal sarcoma of exceptional size, attributable to anatomical site, to nonappearance of an anatomically apparent vascular-lymphatic peduncle and to adhesions contracted with adjoining organs and with large vessels. At present for retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas, there's no productive chemotherapy present, and because of radiotoxicity influencing contiguous intra-abdominal organs, radiotherapy has restricted effectiveness yet without precedence in overall survival.
