Abstract
An epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is an infrequent mesenchymal malignancy most commonly encountered in adolescents and young adults in the distal extremities. It has a proclivity for the flexor aspects of the hands and feet with male predilection observed at a ratio of 2:1. The indolent presentation, seemingly unremarkable histopathology, and low incidence of this disease can lead to misdiagnosis. We report a case of a twenty-year old female who presented to her primary care physician with chief complaint of a painful lump beneath her right second and third toes. The tumor was subsequently excised with diagnosis of epithelioid sarcoma.
