Key result
A patient with a rare epithelioid sarcoma of the pubic region was successfully managed with upfront surgery and adjuvant therapy, remaining disease-free 5 years post-treatment.
Why the study?
Epithelioid sarcoma rarely involves the pubic and inguinal region.
Case Report (n=1)
Epithelioid sarcoma of the pubic region can be successfully managed with upfront surgery and adjuvant therapy, achieving long-term disease-free survival.
Successful long-term control with surgery plus adjuvant in rare pubic epithelioid sarcoma; leaves open optimal regimen and prospective validation.
Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare, clinically polymorphic tumor that afflicts the dermal and subcutaneous region of distal extremity of young adults. In the distal extremity, the involvement of pubic and inguinal region is very rare. We present a case of an epithelioid sarcoma of the pubic region, which was managed, with a combination of upfront surgery and adjuvant therapy, and is presently disease free 5 years after completion of treatment.
