[Rare localization of an aggressive epithelioid sarcoma in an adolescent].
Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma affecting mostly young adult males. It is exceptional under the age of 20. Diagnosis is by histiochemistry. Treatment is mainly wide surgical excision. The normal evolution is local spread followed by generalized metastasis. We report a case of epithelioid sarcoma of the left arm in a 16-year old adolescent of 8 months duration.
