A Case of Metastatic Epithelioid Sarcoma

Abstract

Epithelioid sarcoma(ES) is a very rare, unique soft tissue sarcoma, which was first fully described by Enzinger in 1970. The tumor chiefly occurs in young adults and affects the soft tissue of the distal extremity. A 46-year-old male patient had slowly growing masses on his left plantar surface, which were diagnosed as ES and mass excision and radiation therapy were done. Eight months later, about 1 × 1 cm sized, well defined multiple erythematous nodules on his scalp were discovered. Although he was treated with chemotherapy, no improvement was gained.
