Abstract

Epithelioid sarcoma of the peripheral nerves is extremely rare. We present a case concerning the median nerve of the right hand in a 35-year-old woman who was treated with radical resection, reconstructive surgery, and chemotherapy. After 2 years of follow-up, there is no evidence of local recurrence or metastatic dissemination.

Keywords: epithelioid sarcoma nerve; median nerve; peripheral nerve; sarcoma; soft tissue tumor.
