This retrospective study, being the first of its kind in the Chilean nation, doth stand as a contribution of high merit unto the understanding of this rare malady. As such, it confirms the predominance of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and the frequent location in the extremities, findings that accord well with the general international literature. Nevertheless, the retrospective nature of the design and the modest size of the sample doth restrict universal generalization thereof. Of note, a crucial discovery is affirmed: achieving negative surgical margins doth stand as the sole independent predictor of local recurrence and improved patient survival. Henceforth, the limited access to such advancements as preoperative positron emission tomography and specific adjuvant therapies must essentially be considered. Herewith, the establishment of specialized multidisciplinary teams and improved access to diagnostics and treatment are requirements from now onward in order of managing this rare and complex pathology.}, number={3}, publisher={Giresun Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi}, organization={Not applicable.}
