[Epithelioid sarcoma (clinico-morphological characteristics)].
Epithelioid sarcoma is a relatively rare malignancy which possesses peculiar clinico-morphological characteristics. It is characterized by few symptoms and a comparatively long course; it tends to arise in distal parts of the extremities in the age range of 20-40 years. It reveals the following morphologic features: nodular pattern, involvement of tendons and fasciae, epithelium-like cells and central necroses. Recurrence was observed in 79% and dissemination-57% (metastases into lymph nodes-37.5% included). Extensive excision of tumor or amputation are a method of choice in treating epithelioid sarcoma.
