We report the case of a white male who underwent a classic hemipelvectomy due to a femur fibrosarcoma with inguinal metastases, which 33 years later, developed into a posthemipelvectomy hernia in the amputation stump that impaired the use of his Canadian prosthesis. The hernia was repaired with a polypropylene mesh in a subaponeurotic position. A seroma was drained in the postoperative and it was only 2 months after the operation that he could use his prosthesis with any difficulty. A year after the operation, the hernia had not recurred. Only seven similar cases have been published, and there are only four cases with details of their correction, two with a mesh as was our case, and the rest with a primary suture of the aponeurotic borders. A brief review of the bibliography is given on this subject.
Primary bone lymphoma is rare. The majority of cases are diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Classification, staging, and treatment are controversial. The relatively small number of cases has led to many case reports and series describing institutional experiences but precludes the use of randomized clinical trials to address the question of optimal management. This article will review clinical and radiologic presentations, diagnostic techniques, and histologic characteristics. Most important, it will present what limited information we do have regarding effective treatment options for this unusual type of lymphoma.
