Abstract
|
|
|
|
Soft tissue sarcomas are malignant tumors that arise in the extraskeletal connective tissues of the body. And the clinical behavior of soft tissue sarcomas is characterized by a tendency to extensively: invade surrounding soft tissues as well as early metastatic dissemination. Difficulties were encountered when soft tissue sarcomas invade the major vessels. There are a few reports about the reconstruction of the major vessels after resection of soft tissue sarcomas. We have treated 3 cases of the soft tissue sarcomas involving the major artery. After marginal excision of the tumor mass, the involved major artery was reconstructed with Gortex artificial vessel graft and we could salvage the patient´s extremity.
