title: Primary alveolar soft part sarcoma of the scapula.
abstract: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is an unusual soft tissue malignity, occurring in less than 1% of sarcomas and typically found in the head and neck tissues in children or, in adults, in the deep soft tissues of the lower extremities. In this report, we present a 33-year-old male with primary ASPS in the right scapular bone and discuss the radiologic features of this tumor in the context of the current literature.
