Abstract

We report a case of vulvar epithelioid sarcoma with metastases to the scalp, an inguinal lymph node, lungs, liver, and kidneys. Epithelioid sarcoma typically involves the extremities of young men and may be confused histologically with various benign and malignant processes. Only five cases of primary vulvar epithelioid sarcoma have been previously reported. The present case represents the first report of cutaneous metastases from this primary site. We also review the literature pertaining to the clinical, pathologic, and immunohistochemical features of this rare tumor.
