Summary : Epithelioid sarcoma is a seldom seen tumor characterized by an innocuous presentation of a non tender nodule or cluster of nodules located on a distal extremity with a high propensity for nodal spread as well as relentless local progression. We describe a patient with the neoplasm masquerading as chronic leg ulcers of unknown origin with an unusual immunohistochemical profile. The difficulty of timely clinical and histological diagnosis is a key problem encountered. Better awareness may result in earlier diagnosis and improved prognosis. |
