Important advances have been obtained in the care of soft tissue sarcoma in adults, mainly in the field of locoregional treatment. Surgery or combination of surgery and radiotherapy allow adequate tumor control with preservation of function for the majority of patients. However, the management of locally advanced primaries remains problematic. Moreover, although patients survival mainly depends on the metastatic risk of the disease, controversies remain in definition of pronostic factors as well as in the evaluation of the role of chemotherapy in curative therapeutical strategies. The case reported here allows a discussion of the different modalities of treatment for adults with soft tissue sarcomas and stresses the necessity of a multimodal approach in these patients.
