  1. MRI elsewhere showed a large, contrast-enhancing solid tumor, but because of temporal association with trauma this was misinterpreted as an organizing hematoma.

  2. Inadequate enucleation with an incorrect drainage pathway was carried out at the same institution.

  3. After histopathological diagnosis an R0 situation could be achieved only by wide resection including the distal portions of the sartorius and gracilis muscles, because the previous enucleation prevented palpatory assessment of the tumor bed.

  4. Result after surgery and adjuvant irradiation
