    Abstract
    Malignant soft tissue tumors of the foot and ankle are rare but diagnostic imaging and/or interventional biopsy are vital to establish the nature and grading of a suspicious tumor prior to definitive surgical intervention. The purpose of the study is to provide an account on how a symptomatic mass of the plantar aspect of the foot warranted a referral to a sarcoma center, highlighting the importance of having access to diagnostic imaging and a pathway to refer suspected cases to specialist centers. A single patient with a symptomatic soft tissue tumor of the plantar foot was referred from our service to the regional sarcoma center who considered to be benign, and therefore, open surgical resection was performed by our team. Histopathological analysis identified the excised mass as a lipoma. At 2 years, postoperatively there was no recurrence, and the patient presented with an asymptomatic foot. United Kingdom (UK) guidelines suggest that all soft tissue masses of suspicious nature, greater than 50 mm, deep seated irrespective of size, or fast growing lesions should be referred to a sarcoma unit prior to surgical management. European guidance identifies a threshold of 15 mm for a mass in the foot. Patients presenting with red flag symptoms irrespective of size of mass should be referred to a sarcoma center. Advanced imaging and multidisciplinary input to enable appropriate surgical planning is recommended for suspicious soft tissue tumors that present to the foot and ankle surgeon.
