Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Sarcomas sometimes invade the skin and become exposed, producing malignant wounds characterized by bleeding, exudate, odor, and infection. Malignant cutaneous sarcomas are generally incurable and ultimately impair patients' quality of life. Mohs' chemosurgery is a previously published technique for chemical fixation of a cutaneous tumor and subsequent excision.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 44-year-old man with an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma arising in the right chest wall and rupturing through the skin. The tumor manifested as a malignant wound with ulceration, bleeding, exudate, and a strong odor. Treatment with systemic chemotherapy and Mohs' chemosurgery was initiated. After repeated courses, the tumor demonstrated significant shrinkage. We were then able to perform wide resection and reconstruction with a rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap. Pathologic examination of the resected specimen confirmed negative margins.
CONCLUSIONS: Mohs' chemosurgery with concurrent systemic chemotherapy is an effective and reliable treatment option for achieving pre-operative local control of sarcomas that rupture through the skin.
