INTRODUCTION: The soft tissue sarcomas of the limbs require extensive surgical excision. Reconstructive surgery plays an essential role in its management to preserve the limb, as exposed in a case of thigh sarcoma.

CLINICAL CASE: A 73-year-old patient has a large sarcoma within the quadriceps. Its excision requires resection of the entire anterior thigh compartment. Preservation of the limb is permitted by reconstruction by latissimus dorsi free flap and medial gastrocnemius pedicled flap. The patient resumed walking using an orthosis at 3 months.

CONCLUSION: Surgery to remove a sarcoma of a limb can threaten the integrity of the limb. Plastic surgery, with all the reconstruction techniques, contributes to the preservation of a functional limb.
