Case Report-Epithelioid sarcoma: A diagnostic challenge
Epithelioid sarcoma is an uncommon slow-growing soft tissue malignancy,
associated with a high incidence of local recurrence and metastasis. We
report a 26-year-old male with epithelioid sarcoma on the right palm
with a long history of over seven years, which was initially
misdiagnosed as cutaneous tuberculosis and epithelioid
hemangioendothelioma, as a result of which the treatment was delayed.
No metastasis was found in our patient. The patient was referred to the
oncology centre where he underwent wide excision of the lesion followed
by radiotherapy. The review of the literature including clinical and
histological differential diagnosis is presented as it mimics
inflammatory, benign tumors as well as other malignant conditions
