Spindle Cell Sarcoma of the Thigh at the Site of Femoral Nailing in an Elderly Patient Managed with Palliative Care: A Rare Case Report

Spindle cell sarcoma is a rare type of bone or soft tissue cancer, affecting the long bones of upper and lower limbs. We are presenting a case of a 70-year-old female with local spindle cell sarcoma of right thigh involving the bone, muscles, and surrounding soft tissues with overlying discoloration of skin at the site of a femoral nailing in the same limb. The diagnosis was made via PET scan and histopathology of biopsy. Due to old age, previous surgery, and malnourishment, the patient underwent palliative treatment. This case emphasises on locally advanced spindle cell sarcoma at the site of previous femoral nailing in an elderly female, thus leaving limited management options.
