Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas are relatively rare in the population, rarely encountered by the average orthopedic surgeon, and may only be seen once in a lifetime by a general practitioner. Although rare, it is a serious condition that, if diagnosed early, can result in improved prognosis. This article presents a case of a delayed diagnosis of a soft tissue sarcoma and highlights possible pitfalls and causes for such delays in hope of educating and reducing such incidences in the future.
