ABSTRACT
Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare tumour, counting for less than 1% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It is a slow growing, high grade, soft tissue malignancy of mesenchymal origin. It has marked propensity for local recurrence, regional lymph node involvement and distant metastases. Clinical diagnosis is difficult and radiological findings are nonspecific as well as inconclusive. Therefore, histopathological examination along with immunohistochemical markers are required for the confirmation of diagnosis. Here, we report a case of a 65 years old female, with retroperitoneal mass.
Key words: Epithelioid sarcoma, Retroperitoneal mass, Epithelioid cells, Spindle cells.
