Summary:	Abstract Background Wide surgery is the main factor influencing survival in muscular skeletal tumor. Sometimes the margin can be very thin and the contamination risk can be very high because of manipulation of the mass.

Discussion The application of protective patch can decrease the risk of accidental tumor rupture and neoplastic cells spreading.
