Introduction:

Soft tissue sarcoma (STB) constitutes a varied group of more than 60 malignancies that only accounts for 1% of all tumors.

Objective:

To report a case of a patient with soft tissue sarcoma with bone metastases and paraneoplastic manifestations.

Clinical case report:

We report the case of a 55-year-old male patient with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension, who stated that 50 days ago he began to feel markedly listless. And after a month he began to suffer pain in the spine, in the lower back, and have a fever. In addition he had loss of strength mainly in the legs, and spoke inconsistently, nonsense, great loss of appetite, with weight loss of 50 lbs in 20 days. Given the condition of loss of consciousness and strength, mainly in the legs, it was decided to refer him to Lucía Iñiguez Landín Surgical Clinical Hospital in Holguín, where a soft tissue sarcoma with paraneoplastic manifestations and bone metastases was diagnosed.

Conclusions:

The report of this case of soft tissue sarcoma aims to provide information about this disease, which is so rare in our setting.
