title: Partial resection of pelvis and salvage of the lower limb in the treatment of malignant pelvic tumours.
abstract: Malignant pelvic tumours often present late, hence a high index of suspicion should be maintain in order to arrive at the diagnosis. This is particularly true for those who have unusual symptoms. A proper planning and staging strategies is required to save the limb, and the limb salvage surgery is at present the surgery of choice to achieve local control and restoring optimum functions of the lower limbs as being illustrated by our three cases.
