Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare subset of soft tissue sarcoma with high rate of local recurrence, regional node and distant metastases. Occurs predominantly in young patients, mainly on the superior member extremities. Surgical treatment of epithelioid sarcoma consists of early wide local resection to negative microscopic margins. These patients require carefully follow-up to evaluate local recurrence, nodal metastases, and pulmonary metastases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
