Abstract:
Clear cell sarcoma is a rare tumor with an unpredictable clinical course and usually poor prognosis. Almost all of the patients will have pulmonary metastases during the clinical course. Other more common metastatic sites are bones, lymph nodes, liver and spleen. Treatment of clear cell sarcoma is primarily surgical aiming to achieve uninvolved margins. Role of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy is controversial and remission of metastases has been reported rarely. In this study we report a case of clear cell sarcoma, with gastroduodenal and pulmonary metastases and remission of these metastases in response to chemotherapy.
