✦ Synopsis
A 46-year-old man with a second local recurrence of a myxoid liposarcoma in the fossa poplitea, after surgery and high-dose external beam radiotherapy, was successfully treated by a limb-sparing procedure combining marginal excision, intraoperative radiotherapy and reconstructive surgery. After a 48-month follow-up, there was no evidence of disease, and the function of the leg and knee was normal.
