A 46‐year‐old man with a second local recurrence of a myxoid liposarcoma in the fossa poplitea, after surgery and high‐dose external beam radiotherapy, was successfully treated by a limb‐sparing procedure combining marginal excision, intraoperative radiotherapy and reconstructive surgery. After a 48‐month follow‐up, there was no evidence of disease, and the function of the leg and knee was normal. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
