After being operated for liposarcoma, why do I have tenderness?
Patient: Hello Dr, I had under operation for liposarcoma 4-5yrs ago, on my left thigh region, now I feel some amount of tenderness in the area, what should I do,? are there chance of growth again? should I go for consultation? what are the test I need to do? again? please reply to YYYY@YYYY Doctor: pain in the same region of primary cancer, definitely calls for attention to look for recurrence of cancer. It is better to undergo MRI of thigh bone with contrast and biopsy of the area, if anything is seen on the MRI, to confirm the cancer. If it is normal, then, nothing to worry. I think, u must be undergoing followup once in 6 month with chest x ray, to also see the recurrence of tumor in lung.
