Soft tissue sarcoma is a relatively rare entity that comprises heterogeneous types of tumors. Here we report the case of a 14-year-old girl with pelvic sarcoma with a YWHAE-NUTM2B fusion gene. This fusion transcript has been reported in endometrial stromal sarcomas and clear cell renal sarcomas, but its description in pelvic sarcomas is recent. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing this translocation in an adolescent patient with soft tissue sarcoma. The patient underwent cytoreductive surgery, followed by systemic chemotherapy and targeted drug treatment. Surprisingly, the treatment was effective, and the young patient is being followed up in our department.
