    AbstractSoft-tissue sarcomas are rare and often confused for more common and benign disorders during diagnosis. Chronic expanding hematomas are particularly difficult to distinguish from soft-tissue malignancy. We describe the case of a morbidly obese patient with a chronic expanding hematoma in the distal posterior thigh whose definitive treatment was delayed 6 months because of her pregnancy status and inability to lie prone for open biopsy.
