Management following unplanned resection of a sarcoma typically requires complete
excisionof the entire tumor bed and any surgicallycontaminated tissues toachieve a wide
margin. Unplanned surgery results in additional soft tissue reconstruction compared with
planned surgery.13 If the initial surgery resulted in extensive contamination of surrounding
structures,amputationmaybenecessarytoachievelocalcontrol.Followingrepeatexcisionin
cases without clinically palpable residual tumor, 50% of the cases were found to have
microscopic residual tumor.Followingrepeat excision,85%ofthepatientswerealive and

Surgical removalis reserved for largelesionsthat are causing significantdisabilitythat
have failed a well-documented course of nonoperative care. Surgeons treating this lesion
should be prepared to undertake an aggressive and comprehensive resection of the lesion,
because recurrences after surgical treatmentare inverselyproportional tothequality of the

Aggressive resection with a wide margin(subtotal fasciectomy) is necessaryandcarries a
recurrencerate of25%. Radical fasciectomyis a misnomer because theresectiondoes not
achieve a radical margin.The surgeon should achieve a minimum of a 1 cm marginat the
fascial boundaries and thewidest possible margin at the skin surface that will still permit

Various clinical presentations of this benign tumor exist, including giant cell tumor of
tendon sheath/tenosynovial giant cell tumor, which are described later, and PVNS. Most
patientsareintheirthirtiesandforties.Thislesionisrareinchildren.Approximately2%to
10%ofcasesoccurinthefootandankle.21TherearetwoformsofPVNS:diffuseandnodular.
Nodular PVNS occurs most commonly in the forefoot.22 Diffuse PVNS is found more

On gross examination, the diffuse form of PVNS is a tan mass of villi and folds of
synovium. The lesion may be sessile or have several pedunculatednodules. Bony invasion

origin is a fibrohistiocyte. The pathologic differential includes hemosiderotic synovitis,
rheumatoidarthritis,andsynovialchondromatosis.
Treatment of mild cases of diffuse PVNS is by nonoperative means with clinical and
radiologic follow-up. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with a combination of moderate
activity restriction, offloading the joint with a removable fracture boot, and daily
administrationofibuprofenornaproxen.Completeresolutionofsymptomsmaytake12to24
months.Patientsareatriskforrecurrenceofsymptomsiftheyreturntohighactivitylevelstoo

DiagnosticProcedure
On plain radiographs, there may be a visible soft tissue swelling, sometimes completely
encasingthebonyelementsoftheinvolveddigit,andthetumormayinvadetheadjacentbone
andcause cystic lesions that are clearlyvisible on X-ray. Approximately 10% involve the
bone. Thebone involvement anddestruction leads toconcernfor primarybonemalignancy,
and inappropriately aggressive treatments can result. CT scan will show the extent of the
tumor, and clearly delineate any bony involvement. Some of these tumors have small
calcifications, a feature shared with SS. MRI scans are helpful to define the extent of the
lesion,andcanbehelpfulinthepreoperativediagnosis.Hemosiderininthelesionmayresult

SOFTTISSUESARCOMAINTHEFOOTANDANKLE
Introduction
Softtissuesarcomasareaheterogeneousgroupofmalignanciesthatarisefrommesenchymal
tissues. These rare tumors comprise less than 1% of all malignancies. Most sarcomas are
causedbymolecularanomaliesinthecellularDNA,suchaschromosomaltranslocationsand
mutations that activate, inhibit, or amplify the expression of the genetic material.
Environmental factors, familial cancer syndromes, herbicides suchas dioxin,radiation,and
immunedeficiencyarerarecausesofsarcomas.

Approximately8,700softtissuesarcomasarediagnosedperyearintheUnitedStates,with
