Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma of the Distal Thigh: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

The undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a rare malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin. Poorly differentiated tumor cells, which might take the form of giant cells, histiocytes, or spindle-shaped cells, make up the UPS variant of sarcomas. If soft tissue tumors enlarge and turn malignant, they may become an issue. Sarcoma is diagnosed by several tests, such as a physical examination, MRI, CT scan, or ultrasound. A biopsy yields information regarding the grade and subtype of the sarcoma and is required for a clear diagnosis. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and broad-margin excision are the standard treatments for cancers of the bone. UPS often appears in people between 50 and 70 years old. Yet, here we report a 40-year-old male diagnosed with UPS. Our goal is to discuss how unique our case is in comparison to others, as well as the available diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives in such cases.
