Surgery is the mean treatment and the resection results in extensive muscle and skin loss. The anterolateral tight flap is a good option for sarcomas arising in knees, superior third of legs and the medial face of thigh. The anatomy knowledge and the multidisciplinary approach is very important for a successful reconstruction.
