Wide Resection Preserving Conjoined Tendons of the Rotator Cuff Muscles for Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma at the Suprascapular Fossa - A Case Report

This article reports a case of a large undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) at the suprascapular fossa in a 78-year-old man. After diagnosis of sarcoma, he underwent wide, en-bloc excision preserving conjoined tendons of rotator cuff muscles and low-dose radiation therapy for surveillance of local recurrence. All dissection was performed to avoid contaminating the tumour and involved the whole supraspinatus except the conjoined tendons. We report a case of UPS at the suprascapular fossa, which showed a good result after a wide resection preserving conjoined tendons of rotator cuff muscles. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).PMID:37173139 | DOI:10.1142/S242483552372013X
