Alveolar soft part sarcoma is rare tumor that occurs mostly in the extremities and have a high incidence of blood born metastasis. Cerebral metastasis may be the first manifestation of the disease. The histogenesis of alveolar soft part sarcoma remains uncertain. The primary therapeutic option is aggressive surgical excision. Survival even with the development of metasrasis can be long.
