Abstract:[Objective] To observe the short-term clinical outcomes of surgery combined with chemotherapy for primary undifferentiat- ed pleomorphic sarcoma of the femur. [Methods] A retrospective study was done on 10 patients who received surgery combined with chemo- therapy for primary undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the femur diagnosed by biopsy from October 2015 to October 2019 in our de- partment. The tumor was of Enneking Stage IIA in 1 case and Stage IIB in 9 cases. Of them, 4 patients received preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 8 patients had postoperative chemotherapy conducted, and all patients received surgical treatment, including broad boundary surgical resection with hip reconstruction by prostheses for tumor in 1 case, segmental prosthetic reconstruction in 1 case, and knee reconstruction by prostheses for tumor in 8 cases. Postoperative function was assessed according to Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system. [Results] All patients were successfully operated on without wound nonunion, infection around wound, and deep ve- nous thrombosis of lower limbs. All patients were followed up for 7~43 months, with a mean of (25.10±14.18) months. Of them, 4 patients died, 1 patient survived with tumor, and 5 patients survived without tumor. Postoperative metastasis occurred in 5 patients with the mean time of metastasis of (4.40±1.14) months, and local recurrence occurred in 2 patients. The average MSTS score of lower limbs was (26.5± 1.58) three months after surgery. [Conclusion] For this tumor, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is not necessary in some cases, whereas broad boundary surgical resection and chemotherapy might be effective to control it locally. The patients with pathological fractures and insensi- tive chemotherapy are more likely to have recurrence and metastasis after operation, however, the functional recovery of lower limbs is satis- factory after limb salvage therapy.
