Hello doctor,
I have malignant fibrosarcoma in my left leg and have been scarred from the knee to 1/3 of the thigh for 38 days since surgery. Now I have a swollen lymph node in my groin. Doctor let me ask, is the lymphadenopathy in the groin a metastasis of fibrosarcoma?

Hello,
To the question "Is the groin lymph node metastasis from fibrosarcoma?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Sarcoma is a type of cancer that starts in tissues such as bone or muscle. Fibrous sarcoma is a malignancy with a certain rate of lymph node metastasis. Therefore, you need to see a specialist again to be re-examined and able to intervene early.
If you still have questions about fibrosarcoma, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
