Soft tissuesarcomas are rareandmayhavean indolentpresentation.Asaresult,unplanned excisionofsofttissuesarcomainthefootandankleiscommon.10Unplannedsurgeryisdefined
as excisional biopsy or unplanned resection of a malignant sarcoma without an adequate margin.Outcomesafterunplannedexcisioninallbodysitesareinferiortothoseafterplanned
surgery.11Theimplicationsofunplannedtreatmentofsarcomasinthefootmaybemoreserious thanelsewhereinthebody.Thepotentialforcontaminationofuninvolvedstructuresishigher,

Management following unplanned resection of a sarcoma typically requires complete excisionof the entire tumor bed and any surgicallycontaminated tissues toachieve 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,amputationmaybenecessarytoachievelocalcontrol.Followingrepeatexcisionin cases without clinically palpable residual tumor, 50% of the cases were found to have microscopic residual tumor.Followingrepeat excision,85%ofthepatientswerealive and diseasefreeat5years.
BENIGNSOFTTISSUETUMORS
GanglionCyst
https://t.me/medicina_free
ClinicalPresentation
Ganglioncyststendtopresentinyoungtomiddleageadults,morecommonlywomen,andare very rare in children. The most common location is around the ankle joint or midfoot, especially onthedorsolateral surface.The lesionsmayariseinassociationwith peripheral nerves,joints,fascia,andbone.Intheauthor’sexperience,simple,superficialganglioncysts rarelyaffecttheforefoot.Inthesecases,examinationrevealsapalpable,well-definedmass, usually1to3cm,withnopainorverymildpain.Thelesionoccursnearthejointoralonga tendonsheath.Themassmaygrowandshrinkaccordingtotheactivitylevel.Insomecases, loading or flexing the tendon or joint will make the mass feel noticeably more firm. The ganglion cysts are typically not associated with significant degenerative pathology of the nearbytendonorjoint.
Ganglioncystmaypresentinapatientwithnonlocalizedpain,inwhomanMRIscanofthe footreveals a smallperiarticular cystic mass, oftenadjacenttoajointinthehindfoot,sinus tarsi,ormidtarsaljoint.Thesecystscanbeaspiratedandinjectedwithultrasoundguidance,or excised. In addition, lesions that have MRI features consistent with ganglion cyst are occasionallyfoundinthe plantaraspectoftheforefootadjacenttothemetatarsalphalangeal joints. In the author’s experience, these lesions are caused by plantar plate degeneration associatedwithagingandoveruse.Treatmentoftheselesionsisanalogoustothetreatmentof metatarsalgiaandplantarplate–relatedpain.
ClinicalExam
Atypicalganglioncystissuperficial,firm,somewhatcompressible,andusuallypainless.The cystwilltransilluminatewithapenlightor alaserpointer.Transilluminationistheextended transmissionof light through the lesion dueto thesemitransparent material inthecyst. The roomlightsmayneedtobedimmedandtheareashouldbeshieldedfromexternallightsources tomaximizetheeffect.The surgeonshouldilluminateanearbyareatoobservethe expected amountoflighttransmissionthroughnormaltissue.
DiagnosticProcedure
Thecombinationoftransilluminationandneedleaspirationconfirmsthediagnosisofganglion cyst. Once transillumination is confirmed, aspiration should follow. Lesions that do not transilluminateshouldnotbeaspirated.Aspirationofganglioncystsissimple,safe,andwell toleratedinanofficesetting.Asinglepuncture intothe center ofthecysticmasswitha22­gauge or larger needle should be performed. The diagnosis is confirmed if slightly yellow/clear,nonturbid,viscousorjelly-likematerialisaspiratedfromthecyst.Thismaterial canbeidentifiedbyitscharacteristicappearanceandmaterialproperties,andthuslaboratory analysisisnotrequired.Ifunexpectedmaterial,crystals,pus,orbloodisencountered,cultures andlaboratoryand/orpathologicanalysisisrecommended.Ifaspirationisnegative,theneedle shouldbewithdrawn.Additionalpuncturesandmultiplepassesshouldnotbemade.AnMRI isrecommendedtocharacterizethelesion.
Transilluminationandaspiration maylead toaconclusive diagnosis andfurtherworkup canthusbeavoided.MRIisunnecessaryandtreatmentisatthediscretionofthesurgeon.The
https://t.me/medicina_free
aspirationmaybecurative.Ifthelesionrecursafteraspiration,surgicalremovalcanproceed withoutfurtherworkup.
PlantarFascialFibromaandFibromatosis
ClinicalPresentation
Plantarfibromatosis(alsoknownasLedderhosedisease)isanonencapsulatedthickeningand proliferationofthecentralandmedialbandsoftheplantarfascia.Thelesionsmayalsooccur in atypical locations, such as in the distal or proximal plantar fascia and in subcutaneous tissues.The cause is unknown.One-third toone-halfof patients also present with bilateral nodules. Approximately one-third to two-thirds of patients will also have fibromas in the palmar fascia, the knuckle pads, or elsewhere.Patients with Dupuytrencontracture havean increasedriskforplantarfibromas.Mostpatientsareasymptomatic,butsomehaveactivity­related pain or shoe irritation. When the lesions are large enough to press on the plantar nerves,theremayalsobenumbnessordysesthesiainthedistalportionsofthefoot.
DifferentialdiagnosisforthistumorisSS.
14
DiagnosticProcedure
Plainradiographsarerecommendedtoruleoutthepresenceofintralesionalcalcificationsthat areseeninSSbutnotinplantarfibroma.Nolaboratoryexamsarerecommended.MRIisnot necessaryforsmall,stable,andtypicallylocatedlesions.MRIisstronglyrecommendedifthe lesionislargeorenlarging,oratypicalinanyway.
Initial managementshould consistofshoemodifications,customorreadymadeorthotics, andpainmedication.Numerousnonsurgicaltreatmentshavebeenrecommendedorpublished
inlow-qualityclinicalstudies,includingexternalbeamradiation,15extracorporealshockwave therapy,16injectionsofcorticosteroids,collagenaseclostridiumhistolyticuminjections,17and
transdermaltherapywith15%verapamilgel.Noneofthesetreatmentscanberecommended duetothelowqualityortotalabsenceofanysupportingdata.
Surgical removalis reserved for largelesionsthat are causing significantdisabilitythat 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 treatmentare inverselyproportional tothequality of the
margin.
14,18
Localfasciectomyhasa100%recurrencerate.Thepresenceofmultiplefascialnodules, bilateral nodules, and family history is associated with increased risk of recurrence.
14,19
Aggressive resection with a wide margin(subtotal fasciectomy) is necessaryandcarries a recurrencerate of25%. Radical fasciectomyis a misnomer because theresectiondoes not achieve a radical margin.The surgeon should achieve a minimum of a 1 cm marginat the fascial boundaries and thewidest possible margin at the skin surface that will still permit primaryclosure.Amarginalmarginmustbeacceptedatthedeepsurfaceofthelesiontoallow preservationofthemedialandlateralneurovascularbundles.Incasesofrecurrenceafterlocal excision,asubtotalfasciectomycanbeexpectedtobesuccessfulin75%ofcases.Skingrafts
https://t.me/medicina_free
andtissue transfers mayberequiredtofacilitatecoverageand closure inreoperated cases. Fibromasthatrecuraftersubtotalfasciectomyshouldbeobserved.
PigmentedVillonodularSynovitis
ClinicalPresentation
PVNS is a locally aggressive synovial proliferation of unknown origin. The tumor cells consistentlyoverexpresscolony-stimulatingfactor-1(CSF1)thathasbeenimplicatedintumor
growth.20Inaddition,DNAaneuploidy,chromosomaltranslocations,andtumorexpressionof p63andnm23havebeenreportedinavariableproportionofcases.
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 patientsareintheirthirtiesandforties.Thislesionisrareinchildren.Approximately2%to
10%ofcasesoccurinthefootandankle.21TherearetwoformsofPVNS:diffuseandnodular. Nodular PVNS occurs most commonly in the forefoot.22 Diffuse PVNS is found more
commonlyinthehindfootandpresentswithosteoarthritis.PVNSmayalsooccurintheankle andoftenpresentsasamildlypainfuljointwithswelling.
DiagnosticProcedure
X-rayimagingisoftenusedinidentifyingPVNS.TheradiologicappearanceofPVNSdepends onthe location.A noduleintheforefootmayhavesofttissueswellingandboneerosionon plainX-ray.Theankleusuallyonlyhasa softtissuemass,butboneerosionorcystsmaybe present.Thejointspaceisusuallypreservedandtheremaybeaneffusion.MRIscanisableto identifythehemosiderincontainedinthelesionandcandemonstratetheextentofthesynovial involvementaswellasboneerosionandcysts.Hemosiderinappearsasloworabsentsignal (signaldropout)onbothT1-andT2-weightedimages.
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 pedunculatednodules. Bony invasion throughthejointcapsuleispossible.ThelocalformofPVNSisapedunculatedfirmnodule. Microscopically,PVNSischaracterizedbysynovialcellhyperplasiabothonthesurfaceand belowthesynovium.Alsopresentarescatteredgiantcells,hemosiderin,andfoamcells.The locationofthepolyhedralcellsbelowthesynovialmembranesuggeststhatperhapsthecellof origin is a fibrohistiocyte. The pathologic differential includes hemosiderotic synovitis, rheumatoidarthritis,andsynovialchondromatosis.
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 administrationofibuprofenornaproxen.Completeresolutionofsymptomsmaytake12to24 months.Patientsareatriskforrecurrenceofsymptomsiftheyreturntohighactivitylevelstoo soon.
Nodular PVNS is treated by simple excision with a marginal margin. Nodular lesions rarelyrecuraftercompleteexcision,butwillalmostalwaysrecurifmacroscopicamountsof
https://t.me/medicina_free
the lesionare leftbehindafter surgery. Surgical treatmentof diffuse PVNSis indicated for bulkyorpainfullesionsandcaseswithboneorjointdamage,inordertopreventprogression. Treatmentisbyaggressivemeans,eitheropenorarthroscopic,withoutadjuvanttherapy.There
is a 10% to 15% riskofrecurrence.23 Adjuvant treatmentsincluding radiation21 have been used in severe and recurrent cases. In the ankle, arthrodesis or total arthroplasty with a
prostheticimplantmaybenecessaryincaseswithseverejointdamage.

GiantCellTumorofTendonSheath
ClinicalPresentation
Giantcelltumoroftendonsheathisarare,solitarybenignvariantofPVNSthatmayarisein thetendonsheathtissuesofthehandandwristaswellastheankleandfoot.Mostcasesoccur inthehand,wherelocalrecurrenceafterexcisionhasbeenreportedinupto40%ofcases.The tumorcellsshowconsistentoverexpressionofCSF1,theligandofthetyrosinekinasereceptor, aswellasfrequentchromosomaltranslocationsat1p13,thelocusoftheCSF1gene.
Clinically,thepatientsreportaslow-growing,painless,firmsolitarymassadjacenttothe dorsalorplantartendons,themidfootjoints,ortheanklejoint,whichhasbeenpresentfor1to 2yearsonaverage.Theremaybeahistoryoftrauma,andneurologicsymptomsoccurrarely. In onestudy, lesionsintheforefootoccurredinthefirst,second, andfifth rays exclusively, indicatingthat there maybe some relationship between weight-bearing andthis tumor. The tumormaycauseoraccentuateanangulardeformitysuchashalluxvalgus.
DiagnosticProcedure
On plain radiographs, there may be a visible soft tissue swelling, sometimes completely encasingthebonyelementsoftheinvolveddigit,andthetumormayinvadetheadjacentbone andcause cystic lesions that are clearlyvisible on X-ray. Approximately 10% involve the bone. Thebone involvement anddestruction leads toconcernfor primarybonemalignancy, 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,andcanbehelpfulinthepreoperativediagnosis.Hemosiderininthelesionmayresult inverylowsignal intensities onsome sequences, andthe lesionsenhance onT1sequences afteradministrationofgadopentetatecontrastagent,andthesefeatureshelpidentifythetumor. Treatmentisbycomplete,meticulousexcisionoftheentirelesion.Awideorradicalmarginis not necessary. Intralesional margins are acceptable, as long as complete excision is not compromised.Recurrencehasbeenreportedinupto45%ofcases,butwithcarefulremoval, recurrencecanbereducedto10%to20%.Inthelessertoes,wherethelesionhasextensively invadedthesofttissuesandbone,amputationmaybepreferabletoexcision.Inthegreattoe, effortsshouldbemadetopreservethemechanicalintegrityofthefirstray,includingcomplete meticulous excision of the lesion, followed by bone grafts, skin grafts, and fusions as necessary.
Aseparate,stagedbiopsyisrecommended.Thelesioncannotalwaysbecharacterizedby preoperative studies, and aggressive or destructive features may be present that are also
https://t.me/medicina_free
consistent withmalignancy. Opensurgical biopsywithfrozen section analysis is preferred, performedthroughawell-plannedlongitudinalincisionthatavoidsanyinvolvementofnearby neurovascularstructures.IfthelesioncanbecharacterizedbyMRI,andthelevelofconfidence inthepreoperativediagnosisisveryhigh,thenexcisionalbiopsyisappropriate.
Schwannoma/NerveSheathTumors
ClinicalPresentation
Schwannomas/neurilemmomasandneurofibromasarepartofalargegroupoftumorsbelieved toarisefromSchwanncells.Schwann cellsproducemyelinandmayalsoproducecollagen, thustheneoplasmsthatarisefromthemhavearangeofhistologicfeatures.Thesetumorsmay arise inboneas well asinsofttissues.Neurofibromasare more likely tooccur inyounger individuals,are associated withneurofibromatosis,and carrya significantriskof malignant degeneration.Schwannomas/neurilemmomasoccurinmiddle-agedandolderindividuals,are rarely associated with neurofibromatosis, and carry an extremely small risk of malignant degeneration. Numerous subtypes of nerve sheath tumors have been described, but an exhaustivereviewis outside thescope ofthischapter.Mortonneuromais not a partofthis groupoftumors.Mortonneuroma isnot a truetumor,butrather a fibrotic anddegenerative thickeningoftheplantardigitalnerve.
Benignschwannoma/benignneurilemmomaisaslow-growingsolitarynervesheathtumor that typically presents in adults between age 20 and 50. Schwannomatosis/multifocal
neurilemmomahasbeenobservedinthefootandankleandknee.
25,26
Thetypicalsolitarytumor presentsasaslow-growingpainlessmassthatmayhavebeenpresentfor1to2yearsormore. Someofthesetumorsareexquisitelypainfulandmaycausesevereradiatingneurogenicpain, but others are completely painless. Schwannomas have been reported as a cause of tarsal
tunnelsyndrome.
27
Because ofprolonged growth ofthesetumors, theremaybelocal bonyimpingementand boneremodelingduetopressurefromthetumor.However,thesebenigntumorsdonotinvade thebone.MRIscansshowtypicalfeaturesforanindeterminatetumor,withlowsignalintensity onT1-weightedsequencesandhighsignalintensityonT2-weightedsequences.Theanatomical relationshipofthetumortothenerveoforiginmaybeobviousorsosubtleastobeimpossible todetermine.
Because of theindeterminate MRI appearance of this tumor,a completeevaluation and stagedbiopsyisrecommendedbeforedefinitivesurgicalremovalisplanned.Asmallnumber oftumorscanbedefinitivelyidentifiedbasedonclinicalfindingsandMRIexamination.Ina patient whodoesnothaveneurofibromatosis,thecombinationofatumorcausingsignificant neurogenicpainandanMRIdemonstratingaclearanatomicalrelationshipbetweenthetumor andaperipheralnerveisdiagnosticforbenignschwannoma/neurilemmoma.
Treatmentisby excisionwithamarginalmargin.Someofthesetumors havenoobvious relationshiptoaperipheralnerve.Othersoccurinsidetheepineuriumofalargenervesuchas
the posterior tibial nerve.28 Intraneural schwannomas can usually be separated from the surrounding normal nerve fibers without significant damage. Incomplete excision or intralesional excision is acceptable for tumors that cannot be separated from a major
https://t.me/medicina_free
peripheral nerve and where complete excision would cause significant morbidity and permanentnervedamage.Recurrencefollowingresectionwithamarginalmarginisrare.
IntramuscularHemangioma
ClinicalPresentation
IMHstypicallypresentinthelowerextremitiesofchildrenandyoungadults.Thesevascular lesions are divided into several types, according to their histologic features. Capillary hemangiomaisthemostcommontype,consistingofsmallcapillariesthathavenormalsizeand diameter,butthatareexcessiveinnumber.Cavernoushemangiomaismadeupoflargerdilated blood vessels. Compound hemangiomas have features of both the capillary and cavernous types.Lobularcapillaryhemangiomasaresmall,redbumpsoftenoccurringonthehands,face, andarms, especiallyduring pregnancy. MostIMHs intheextremitiesare thecapillarytype. IMHisabenignlesionwithaverylowriskofmalignantdegeneration.
IMHoccursinthelegmorecommonlythanthefoot.Patientspresentwithactivity-related pain,nightpain,andlocalizedtendernessoverthelesion.Thetumorcancauseequinus,toe-
walking,and unilateral pes planus.29Lesions inthe heel maymimicplantar fasciitis. IMHs neartheskinordermishaveavisiblebluecolor.
DiagnosticProcedure
Theappropriateage, location,history, andexaminationfindingsshould lead theclinicianto suspectahemangioma.Phleboliths,whicharesmall,roundedcalcifiedintravascularthrombi, areseenonplainfilmsin50%ofhemangiomas.
MRIscansareusuallyadequatetoconfirmthediagnosis.OnMRI,IMHisawell-defined lobularheterogeneousintramuscularmass,isointenseonT1andhyperintenseonT2,withfat andserpentinebloodvessels,containingsignalvoidsassociatedwiththephleboliths.TheMRI appearance hasbeendescribed as a“bagof worms.” These lesionsare usuallydefiniteas previouslydescribed,andmaybetreatedwithoutbiopsywhenthediagnosisiscertain.Itisnot unusual for IMH to infiltrate both muscle and nearby structures, including skin, bone, and neurovascularbundles.
In most cases, nonoperative treatment should be attempted. Activity restriction, compression garments, nonsteroidal medications or acetaminophen are usually adequate to control the symptoms. Ultrasound-guided or fluoroscopically guided sclerotherapy using absolutealcoholorethanolamineoleatehasbeensuccessfullyemployedtotreatIMHinthe
footandankle.30Complicationsofsclerotherapyincludetendoncontracture,skinbreakdown, reversiblenerveinjury,anddeepvenousthrombosis.
31
Localized, painful IMH that does not infiltrate critical structures can be treated with surgery. Excision with an intralesional or marginal margin is effective for symptomatic
control.32Inpediatricpatients,IMHhasahighriskofrecurrence.Moreamplemarginsshould beusedtolowertherateofrecurrenceandreoperations.33IMHmayextendintonearbytissues
suchasbone,skin,andvascularstructures.Resectionoftheaccessibleportionsofthelesion combined with sclerotherapy, compressive garments, and medications is more suitable for

Tumormimicsarenon-neoplasticlesions(nottruetumors)thatmaylookandactliketumors. Gouty tophi, enlarged degenerated tendons, and focal collections of subcutaneous fat can sometimesbemistakenfortumors.
GoutyTophi
Gout is an inflammatory arthropathy that occurs as a result of hyperuricemia. Gouty tophi represent theaccumulationof calciumurate crystals withinsofttissue andbone. Tophi may occurwithinthesubcutaneoustissues,synovium, subchondralbone,andtendons, resultingin softtissuemasses,osseouserosion,tendonrupture,andtarsaltunnelsyndrome.Tophitypically occuradjacenttothemetatarsalphalangealjointsandalongthelateralborderofthefoot.The patient may not carry an established diagnosis of gout. In severe cases, there is usually a historyofskinbreakdownandwhitepastymaterialdrainingfromthemass.Treatmentforgout islargelymedical.Colchicineinhibitsthephagocytosisofuratecrystalsbypolymorphonuclear cells and blocks the release of chemotactic factors. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as indomethacin can give patients relief from pain in 2 to 4 hours. Intra­articularsteroidinjectionscanalsogivereliefofacutegoutsymptoms.Extremelybulkygouty tophicanbedebulked,butthe extensiveinfiltrationofcalcium uratecrystals withinthesoft tissuesmakesitimpossibletoresectalltheabnormalmaterial.
Runner’sBump
Olderrunnerswhoaveragemorethan30milesperweekmaydevelopamassonthetibialis anteriortendonsheaththatmaybemistakenforatumor.Thislesionisbecauseofdegeneration ofthetibialisanteriortendonandafocaltenosynovialmassatthelocationofthedamage.On examination,asoft,mobilelesionsurroundsthetibialisanteriortendonatthelevelwherethe top of the shoelace rubs on the tendon. The tendon itself may retain normal caliber and function, depending ontheseverity. Insome cases,the lesioncanbepartiallyeliminatedby compressivemassage,butrecurspromptly.MRIshowsamildtomoderatedegree oftendon diseasealongwithanintimatelyassociatedsynovialmass.Treatmentinvolvesrecognitionof theoriginoftheproblem,educationoftherunner,andpadding,changing,orrepositioningthe lacesandthetongueoftheshoetominimizetheforcesonthearea.Surgicaldebulkingofthe excesssynoviumandtendonrepairshouldbereservedforseverecases.

SOFTTISSUESARCOMAINTHEFOOTANDANKLE
Introduction
Softtissuesarcomasareaheterogeneousgroupofmalignanciesthatarisefrommesenchymal tissues. These rare tumors comprise less than 1% of all malignancies. Most sarcomas are causedbymolecularanomaliesinthecellularDNA,suchaschromosomaltranslocationsand mutations that activate, inhibit, or amplify the expression of the genetic material. Environmental factors, familial cancer syndromes, herbicides suchas dioxin,radiation,and
immunedeficiencyarerarecausesofsarcomas.
34
Approximately8,700softtissuesarcomasarediagnosedperyearintheUnitedStates,with anestimated10%oftheseoccurringinthedistallowerextremity.35Softtissuesarcomasare
morecommoninolder individuals.Approximatelyone-thirdofthese tumorsaresuperficial, andthree-quartersarehistologicallyofhighgrade.Whenthesetumorsrecur,itismoreoftena
distal metastasis than a local recurrence.36 At least one-third of patients with soft tissue sarcomaswilldieoftheirdisease.
TheAmericanJointCommitteeonCancer(AJCC)stagingsystemforsofttissuetumorshas beenshowntohaveasignificantrelationshiptotheprognosis.Thestagingsystemincorporates tumorsize,depth,thepresenceorabsenceofnodalordistantmetastasis,andhistologicgrade
(Table11-3).StagingisbasedondatafromtheCTorMRIofthetumoraswellasaCTofthe
chest.Thisinformationiscombinedwiththehistologicgrade,size,andtheintracompartmental or extracompartmental extentofthe tumor. Prognosis is strongly related to grade, size,and histologicsubtypeofsarcoma.
Treatmentofsofttissuesarcomasisdeterminedbythehistologicdiagnosisandstageofthe tumor.Withrareexceptions,surgicalresectionwithawidemarginisthemosteffectivemethod ofprimarytumorcontrol. Widemarginsreducethe chanceoflocal recurrence, whichhasa strongnegativeimpactonsurvival.Limb-sparingsurgeryispreferable toamputationwhena durable, functional, and pain-free extremity can be achieved. Because of the anatomical constraintsofthefootandankle,itmaybedifficulttoachieveawidemarginwithoutresorting to at least a partial amputation. Approximately 15% to 20% of patients with distal lower extremitysarcomasrequiresomekindofamputation.
In adults with foot and ankle sarcoma, limb-sparing surgeryhas not been proventobe betterthanamputationintermsoffunctional,psychosocial,orqualityoflifeoutcomes.37Limb
salvage is functionallysuperior to amputationinpediatric sarcoma patients. Thesoft tissue coverage of the foot and ankle is scant and subjected to high loads and repetitive shear stresses. Thebonyand articularelementsmustprovidedurablesupportandflexibilitywhile withstandingthe stressesofweight-bearing. Limb-sparingsurgerymustbecarefullyweighed
againstotheroptionsfor tumorsofthefootandankle.38Tenpercentofpatients treatedwith limb-sparingsurgeryareultimatelyamputatedfor reasons other than cancer.39Limbsalvage

PleomorphicSarcoma(PreviouslyIdentifiedasMalignantFibrous Histiocytoma)
IntroductionandDefinition
PSisatermthatrecentlyreplacedMFH.MFHwas introducedasadiagnosis in1963, and priortothattime,tumorsofthistypewereclassifiedasrhabdomyosarcomaorfibrosarcoma. The classification continues to evolve, and this fact makes it difficult to interpret the epidemiologic, clinical,andoutcomesdatafrom thepast.Thistumorisapleomorphichigh­grade tumor of unknown origin composed of fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, and histiocytes. PS/MFHisthemostfrequentsofttissuetumorinadultsinsomeseries.PS/MFHisfoundinthe extremities70%to75% ofthetime,and50%ofallcases are inthelower extremity.Other lesscommonsitesincludetheretroperitoneum,andtheheadandneck.Thehighestincidenceis duringthefifthdecadeoflife,andthereisamaletofemaleratioof1.5:1.
IncidenceandDemographics
PS/MFHis secondarytoanotherprocess suchas radiation, surgery, fracture, osteonecrosis, Pagetdisease,nonossifying fibroma, or fibrousdysplasia 20% ofthe time.PS/MFHarising from a previous abnormality is usually more aggressive and has a poorer prognosis than primaryPS/MFH.
