Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Metal implants are commonly used in orthopedics for treating degenerative conditions and fractures. These materials are generally considered non-toxic. However, rare instances of malignancy linked to certain implants have been documented in the literature. The formation of high-grade sarcoma on orthopedic implants is an exceptionally rare complication. In this report, we present the case of an unclassified high-grade sarcoma in a 51-year-old patient to highlight the rarity of this condition and the challenges associated with its diagnosis.
