title: Hemangiopericytoma of the foot. A case report.
abstract: Soft-tissue sarcoma is a rare diagnosis in general and more so in the foot. The author has seen two in the last 9 years, both of which were fatal. As podiatry becomes more and more an accepted primary care specialty, our index of suspicion needs to increase and our diagnostic procedures need to be aggressive. The incidence of primary and secondary cancerous lesions in the foot and ankle are increasing.
