(a) Axial thigh T2-MR showing a hyperintense mass in the posterior aspect of the thigh. (b) Clinical image showing the wrong incision (black arrows) performed to excise the lump with the preoperative diagnosis of a benign lump. Histologic analysis established that the mass was a sarcoma; the excision had thus been a whoops procedure.
