Because of the unique anatomy of the foot and ankle, and the fact that benign lesions in this area are 200-fold more common than malignant lesions, these tumors can be frequently misdiagnosed, leading to unplanned excision and poor outcomes. The purpose of this study was to describe outcomes of the surgical treatment of STS of the foot and ankle at our institution, with an analysis on risk factors for local and distant recurrence, as well as overall survival.Methods:We reviewed the records of 62 foot and ankle soft tissue sarcomas treated with definitive surgery at our institution between 1992 and 2013. The cohort consisted of 35 males and 27 females with a mean age at diagnosis of 45 years and a mean follow-up of 7 years.
