Forty-five @entity1 with soft tissue @entity242 received additional wide resections after they were treated with simple excision by a primary physician. Of the @entity1 in the current study, 26 were male and 19 were female; all were treated between 1986 and 1998 for @entity8650 . The mean followup was 7.1 +/- 3.4 years. The mean time from first excision to additional wide resection was 8 weeks, and for 90% of the @entity1 it was within 12 weeks. In deciding the surgical margin for an additional operation, enhanced computed tomography scans and magnetic resonance images were done. Four (8.8%) @entity1 had local recurrences that required a second resection and had no evidence of disease at latest followup. Four (8.8%) @entity1 had distant metastases but did not have local recurrences. Three @entity1 died of lung metastases. The overall 5-year survival rate of the @entity1 was 93%, and the overall 5-year disease-free rate was 84%. It seems that @entity5 treated adequately by wide resection in an additional operation have results as @entity5 treated with a primary wide resection.
