Wound healing in a patient with psoriasis vulgaris and femur megaprosthesis implantation

Abstract

Extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is extremely rare and, in combination with psoriasis, it has never been described before. We report a case of wide resection of an extraskeletal chondrosarcoma of the thigh and reconstruction with a femoral megaprosthesis in a patient with psoriasis vulgaris. Special emphasis has been laid to postoperative wound healing in psoriatic skin which did not show any problems. Copyright © 2008 Markus Nottrott et al.
