Epithelioid sarcoma, a rare cancer, presented as a leg ulcer in a 71-year-old male. Despite surgery and amputation, the cancer metastasized, leading to a fatal outcome due to arterial neoplastic thrombosis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma.
  • Understanding its clinical presentation and progression is crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 71-year-old male presented with a two-year-old epithelioid sarcoma on his right leg, clinically appearing as a hard-walled ulcer.
  • The tumor recurred seven months after initial surgical excision.
  • Amputation at the mid-thigh was performed due to tumor recurrence.

Findings:

  • The patient died twelve months post-amputation from pleuropulmonary metastasis.
  • Histological examination revealed massive arterial neoplastic thrombosis, confirming the aggressive nature and fatal prognosis.
  • No necropsy was performed.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the aggressive potential and poor prognosis of epithelioid sarcoma, even after aggressive treatment.
  • Arterial neoplastic thrombosis is a significant indicator of a fatal outcome in epithelioid sarcoma.
  • Further research into effective therapeutic strategies for epithelioid sarcoma is warranted.
