Preoperative and intra operative findings of the patient. a. The x-ray of the abdomen and the pelvis taken after the intervention radiology. Many coils are presented in the picture as white-line shadows. b. The raw surface of the lower back, bilateral buttock, and the upper posterior thigh. Almost all of the surface is the subfascial plane, just above the muscles. c. The outer surface of the resected tumor. A linear post-operative scar is observed on the center of the surface. d. The inner surface of the resected tumor. Two pictures are bound to one picture because the tumor was too large to take photo as one piece. e. The right-side aspect just after skin grafting. The skin graft was taken from the resected tumor by electric dermatome. f. The left side aspect just after skin grafting. The skin graft had been processed with mesh dermatome as 1 to 3 mesh skin graft
