Popis:	We described a case of epithelioid sarcoma of a 70-year-old woman. She had a slowly enlarging lesion for 5 years on her right finger. On examination, she had an ill-defined erythematous nodule with hard consistency on the dorsal aspect of her middle finger. The overlying skin showed ulceration. A biopsy specimen showed the proliferation of two types of cells, polygonal cells and spindle cells, with central necrosis. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for keratin, CAM5.2, EMA and vimentin. Surgical specimen showed nodular arrangement of tumor cells with necrosis in the center of the nodule. There was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis eleven months after the amputation of the forefinger and the middle finger. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2003; 18: 325-328]
