“…ASPS is a rare soft tissue tumour of uncertain histogenesis that carries a poor prognosis. 1 It has a female preponderance and a propensity to involve head and neck region and extremities in children and adults, respectively. The tumour has metastatic potential and the common sites are lungs, brain, and bone.…”

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rarely diagnosed tumour of deep soft tissue origin. This tumour is more common in adolescents and young adults and has a slowly progressive clinical course, which often leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment. It is highly vascular, can be confused with other entities like haemangiomas and arteriovenous malformations clinically and radiologically and is thus challenging to report on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Diagnosing the tumour is difficult on cytology, so knowledge of this entity and the differentials with its morphological mimics on cytology is required for timely diagnosis and early management of the patient. We report a case of ASPS in a young female who presented with a large, painless swelling in the thigh, diagnosed on cytology combined with ancillary testing with immunohistochemical markers.

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a very rare soft tissue tumor of unknown histogenesis and has propensity for recurrence and distant metastasis. It commonly occurs in the head neck region and on extremities in adolescents and young adults. Less number of cases have been reported in the scapular region so far. Till now, no definite treatment regime is available for ASPS; early diagnosis plays a pivotal role in its management and patient outcome. Here, we are presenting a case of 23 years old male presenting with a recurrent swelling in right scapular region. It was diagnosed as ASPS on the basis of radiology, histomorphology and immunohistochemistry.
