Abstract

Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare clinically polymorphic tumor that mimics both benign and malignant conditions. It presents with dermal or subcutaneous nodules on the extremities in young adults. We present here a case of epithelioid sarcoma of the inguinal region infiltrating the femoral vessels. Biopsy is diagnostic and good histopathological evaluation is critical in management.
