title: Malignant melanoma of soft parts (clear cell sarcoma): a case report.
abstract: A subcutaneous tumor localized on the sole of the foot of a 25-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed as a malignant melanoma of the soft parts. We performed a wide local excision, elective lymph node dissection, and chemotherapy. Eight years after treatment, the patient is alive without local recurrence or metastasis.
