| Popis: | BackgroundClear cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses (CCSTA) appears usually in the extremities and rarely in the trunk.Case presentationWe present an unusual case of CCSTA overlying the scapular region and with secondary osseous extension in the lower scapula. The patient underwent a wide local excision with removal of the tumor and the lower two thirds of the scapula. He had no local recurrences but he developed lung metastases after 5 months in spite of postoperative chemotherapy. He finally died ten months later.ConclusionThe patients with CCSTA have a variable unpredictable course. Despite treatment the overall prognosis is poor. |
