High-grade chondrosarcoma of the left scapula. Preoperative X-ray of the G3 scapular chondrosarcoma (A) and after en bloc upper interscapulothoracic humeral resection (B) This particular procedure known as Tikhoff-Linberg is a limb-sparing surgical option for tumors in and around the proximal humerus and shoulder girdle and an alternative treatment to forequarter amputation; however, is associated with poor cosmetic appearance (C) that can gradually change over the years depending on soft tissue contracture and scar tissue formation (D).
