Abstract
STS represents a heterogenous group of malignancies with varying pathological grades, sites of origin and histologies. In the olden days, treatment consisted of resections and amputation which led to significant detriment in quality of life(QoL) and structural functions . Here we present a case of 49 year old patients who came with complaints of painless, progressive swelling in the right upper arm. He underwent WLE followed by intraoperative brachytherapy catheter application. He was then planned for HDR brachytherapy 34 Gy in 10 fractions 4 days following surgery. He tolerated the treatment well, the surgical scar healed by primary intention with no complication during or after the procedure. It can be concluded that brachytherapy in soft tissue sarcoma is a feasible option and an effective modality in the treatment of extremity soft tissue sarcoma with adequate local control.
