Abstract

|
The epithelioid sarcoma is a rare high grade soft tissue sarcoma that affects young usually male, adults or adolescents. The most common localization is the hand and the forearm, followed by the leg and the foot. In most cases, the sarcoma grows slowly, involves the dermis, subcutis, or deeper soft tissues in the distal extremities. Epithelioid sarcoma is a slowly growing tumor with a high propensity for local recurrences and lymph node metastases. This neoplasm is likely to be confused with a variety of benign and malignant conditions. The treatment consists of wide surgical excision, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We report the cases of 16-year-old girl with an epithelioid sarcoma on the lower extremity.
