Left Hindquarter Amputation due to High-Grade Pleomorphic Sarcoma of the Groin: A Case Report

Introduction:Hindquarter amputation or known as hemipelvectomy is a surgical technique that is primarily used for the eradication of malignant primary soft tissue and bone tumors of the pelvis, hip, and upper thigh regions. Occasionally, hindquarter amputation has been employed in the treatment of severe trauma, metastases, and infection. This case report aims to give a lesson in the case of the High-Grade Pleomorphic Sarcoma of the Groin because this is a very rare case and most patients are not willing to undergo amputation.Case Presentation: A 54-year-old male patient came with a complaint of a lump in the thigh. Initially, the lump was as big as a marble and has been getting bigger since last year. The size of the lump was approximately 30 x 30 x 30 cmConclusions: The most common indications for amputation in patients with the primary localized disease were extensive involvement of the limb-girdle, multiple muscle compartment involvement, multifocality, and unsuitability for limb-sparing surgery, typically due to lack of a salvage option. Hindquarter amputation was used as a treatment for 13% of all pelvic bone sarcomas where there is a realistic chance of control of symptoms or long-term survival.comas.
