It was desmoplastic and later removed with “cat’s eye’ surgery -margins clear. 2009 another bump about 3″ away, – desmoplastic, later removed by same type surgery -margins clear. 2010 another bump between the two surgeries – desmoplastic and removed by wide excision with right thigh skin graft – bottom not clear. 2010 Major wide excision ~ 6” round with thigh skin graft -margins and bottom clear. 2010 Two more bumps in vicinity of other surgeries -desmoplastic. MAJOR surgery – cancer removal, bone removal, implant of titanium & tissue transplant from good thigh. Bottom and margins clear. Followed with 25 radiation treatments.
