Proximal Epithelioid Sarcoma: A Diagnostic Challenge
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Epithelioid sarcoma is an uncommon slow-growing soft tissue malignancy, associated with a high incidence of local recurrence and metastasis. We report a 30-year-old male presented with huge mass in left thigh with difficulty in walking, clinically misdiagnosed as clear cell sarcoma. Multiple nodule noted in left lung parenchyma suggestive of metastasis. Later histopathological examination and IHC confirmed the diagnosis of epithelioid sarcoma. Here we present the case because of large number of histological mimics of epithelioid sarcoma and its unusual location.
