Purpose: Unplanned excision of a soft tissue sarcoma is defined as the operation performed for gross removal of a soft tissue sarcoma without regard for preoperative imaging or the necessity to removal a margin of normal tissue covering the cancer. We report our experience of treating primary soft tissue sarcoma after an unplanned excision. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 31 patients referred to our hospital after unplanned excision at other hospitals for treatment of a STS. The clinical information was reviewed with a focus on the patient's age, gender, tumor location, tumor size, tumor depth, presumptive diagnoses at the previous surgery, refer hospital, definitive diagnosis, interval between the initial and additional surgery and local recurrence. Results: There were 19 males and 12 females with a median age of 48 years (range, 17-75 years) at the time of referral. Seventeen patients (54.8%) had tumors in their lower limb, 6 (19.4%) had tumors in their upper limb, and 8 (25.8%) had tumors in their trunk. Tumor depth could be determined for 8 patients (25.8%), with superficial and 22 deep tumors (71%). The medial interval between unplanned excision to re-excision ranged from 2 weeks to 1 year (median, 5 weeks). Local recurrence was detected in 2 patients. All patients were alive without metastasis at last follow up. Conclusion: Even in upper class general hospital, many unplanned excision had been performed, which is considered to be avoided. When the relatively huge mass located in deeper layer it requires enough preoperative imaging studies and biopsy.

Leiomyoma of the bronchus is a very rare, benign tumor of the lung. We herein report a case of endobronchial leiomyoma which was treated by sleeve bronchoplasty without resection of the lung and without any complications. A 35-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of stridor. Bronchoscopy revealed a round, hypervascular and smooth tumor nearly obstructing the left main bronchus at 1.5 cm distal portion from the carina. Biopsy was not performed for fear of massive hemorrhage. A sleeve resection of left main bronchus including the tumor and end-to-end anastomosis were performed. The histologic diagnosis was leiomyoma. The early diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment to preserve the pulmonary function are important points of consideration.
