Epithelioid sarcoma of the upper extremity.
Three cases of epithelioid sarcoma of the upper extremity are presented. Information regarding 112 previously published cases is reviewed. It is concluded that epithelioid sarcoma must be included in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue tumors of the extremities. Moreover, the diagnosis of epithelioid sarcoma demands prompt and aggressive surgical intervention. Irradiation therapy and chemotherapy have not been proven to be of value in the management of epithelioid sarcoma.
