“…The amplification of c-myc oncogene is probably responsible for its aggressive biological behavior [20,21]. There are still too many errors in initial management, as was the case for our patient, who is nevertheless a crucial and well-documented case [9], which can lead to a significant loss of opportunity for patients [22][23][24][25].…”

“…There had been previous case reports misdiagnosing sarcoma for keloid scars. 10 In this case, previous CABG made it even more challenging. It was reported by the previous care giver that initially the tumor mimicked post CABG keloid.…”

“…Once diagnosed, reports suggested that the standard of care for ES patients is surgical resection with negative margins. 10 However, (due to its rarity) strong statistical evidences on the benefit of intraoperative surgical lymph node inspection and post-operative radiation are yet to be published.…”

“…Therefore, the aim here was to identify a molecular diagnostic biomarker capable of distinguishing KS from other forms of dermal scarring specially HTS and also dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSPs)-an uncommon progressive, reticular dermal neoplasm with high recurrence. Often, keloid and/or DFSP are misdiagnosed (Kimura et al, 2014, Nguyen et al, 2002, Nicholas and Stodell, 2014, Suarez et al, 2015. We have demonstrated immune upregulation and the presence of lymphoid aggregates while investigating the presence of plasma cells in 63 KS tissue samples (Bagabir et al, 2012) using immunohistochemistry, and serendipity that led to the identification of abundant expression of CD138 in KS.…”
