Limb salvage surgery in Enneking's stage III a--a case of leiomyosarcoma.
Limb saving surgery is today's tendency in treating the musculoskeletal tumours. Preserving the limb should not only pursue a good oncological and functional result but also aim at good psychological outcome. Our aim was to treat a very rare case of proximal femoral leiomyosarcoma with present solitary lung metastasis by conservative operative procedures.
