The symptoms of epithelioid sarcoma usually develop in the second decade of life, and start with symptoms such as mass. Epitheliod sarcoma has a tendency for lymph node metastasis. The most common sites of epithelioid metastasis include lungs, lymph nodes, and scalp.
Complications
- Metastasis
- Contractures
- Nerve compression
- Muscle weakness
- Numbness
Prognosis
- The prognosis of epithelioid sarcoma is good for females.
- Five year survival rate for patients with epithelioid sarcoma is approximately 50-70%
- Ten year survival rate for patients with epithelioid sarcoma is approximately 42-55%
- Prognosis varies with:
- Age of diagnosis- Earlier age of diagnosis is associated with better outcome
- Gender
- Site- Proximal leisons have worse prognosis
- Microscopic pathology- Necrosis and vascular invasion have been associated with poor prognosis
- Tumor size- Tumors of more than 2 cm size has been associated with poor prognosis[1]
- Mitotic index
