The 5-year survival following the marginal resection of a primary leiomyosarcoma of the distal femur and a stump fracture.
In this case, we present a 5-year follow-up of a 3-fault-affected primary leiomyosarcoma of the distal femur (spontaneous fracture treated by osteosynthesis; marginal resection; stump fracture after adequate trauma) with an extended local recurrence but without metastasis.
