Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Aims & Objectives- A rare case report of a case of spindle cell sarcoma occurring in a known patient of neurofibromatosis. Methods- A 35 year old female patient came with complaints of rapidly increasing pain and swelling of right upper limb below elbow, along with loss of movement in right hand. She had generalized multiple swellings in whole body for last 10 years suggestive of neurofibromatosis. On examination the swelling had involved whole of the forearm which was of variegated consistency, mostly hard, temperature was raised with no tenderness. FNAC was inconclusive as well as incisional biopsy. MRI of right upper limb was suggestive of neurofibroma/neurofibrosarcoma and excision was nearly impossible as tumour had involved whole circumference of the forearm. Results & Conclusion- An above elbow amputation was done and tissue was sent for HPE which made the diagnosis of spindle cell sarcoma. This was curative treatment for the patient as she came for follow up after six months with no evidence of any recurrence and artificial limb was prescribed for a better quality of life.
