title: [Primary clear cell sarcoma of the ileum].
abstract: Clear cell sarcoma or malignant melanoma of soft tissue is a high-grade sarcoma with melanocytic differentiation, essentially involving tendons and aponeuroses of distal extremities in young adults. Visceral locations are exceptional and only 8 cases involving the gastrointestinal tract are reported in the literature. We present a case of an ileal clear cell sarcoma discovered in a 26-year-old woman. Moreover, we emphasize on the diagnosis difficulties of this rare type of sarcoma, characterized by the specific translocation t(12;22)(q13;q12).
