It is critical, yet challenging, to recognize clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue because the outcome is very different to that of metastatic melanoma. We report a case of cl...

primitive neuroectodermal tumor (penets) is an uncommon malignancy of bone and soft tissue witch rarely occurs in the kidney. in more than 90% of the cases, the tumor cells relieves a balanced translocation (11; 22) (q24; q12). immunohistochemical staining may be required for diagnosis of penet. the cells of tumor express cd99, vimentin, nse, fl1 but do not express ck, lca, myogenin, and wt1. w...

The differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal mass includes liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, neurofibroma, stromal tumor, teratoma, and lymphoma.

Soft tissue sarcoma of retroperitoneal origin often remains asymptomatic until tumor enlargement, leading to diagnosis at advanced stages.
