We present a case of epitheloid sarcoma that was referred with a 2x3 cm ulcerated lesion on the right ankle and edema of the lower leg. Foot drop of the right side was present that had caused walking difficulty. After a few months, he developed several sporthricoidal nodular lesions on the medial aspect of right thigh, inguinal lymphadenopathy, weight loss, anorexia and respiratory symptoms. Chest x-ray and HRCT showed pulmonary metastasis. Histopathological evaluation and immunohistochemical profile of both skin lesion and involved inguinal lymph node were consistent with epitheloid sarcoma. The case is interesting because as far as we know there has been no report of epitheloid sarcoma in literature presenting with foot drop and edema prior to obvious skin involvement.

Proximal epithelioid sarcomas are rare soft tissue sarcomas that have been documented in a diverse range of presentations. However, there have been few cases describing adrenal presentations. These neoplasms are thought to be driven by a loss of SWItch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF)-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily B member 1 (SMARCB1), also known as integrase interactor 1 (INI1).
