Abstract

Proximal epithelioid sarcoma is a rare malignancy that develops from the proximal part of the body and occurs more commonly in young people. Because of its aggressive nature, high recurrence potential, and high ability to metastasize, it needs careful clinical long-term monitoring. This report intends to provide more insight to proximal epithelioid sarcoma due to its rarity. We report a case of a 31-year-old immunochemistry, prognosis, and treatment of epithelioid sarcoma. male, presented with proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma in his right ischio-rectal fossa and inguinal lymph nodes metastasis, confirmed by cytology sampling examination utilizing ultrasound fine-needle aspiration. We review the cytohistological presentation, molecular basis,
