CASE REPORT 3

A 12 year-old girl was referred to our Unit due to a painless growing mass located on her right forearm, which was initially detected 3 months ago. Physical examination revealed a palpable mass of 12x5mm on the aspect of the right proximal forearm, with no signs of inflammation, and no other clinical findings. She underwent hematology/ biochemistry tests and chest X-Ray, which were normal. An ultrasound was performed, revealing a soft-tissue mass in the subcutaneous tissue of the flexor surface of the right forearm near the elbow joint with increased vascularization. A small nodule, 6mm in diameter, in the right lower lobe was detected on the chest CT . The patient underwent resection of the mass which was completely removed. Histopathological examination showed a tumor with a nodular growth pattern. The monomorphic infiltrate consisted of small tumor cells with scanty cytoplasm and round nuclei. Immunohistochemistry revealed tumor cells with positivity for vimentin, CD99 and bcl2. Molecular biological examination was also performed but no transcripts t(11;22), t(21;22), t(X;18) were detected. She underwent chemotherapy according to EURO-E.W.I.N.G.99 chemotherapy protocol. So far, 18 months after the end of chemotherapy, there is no evidence of recurrence or metastases and she has an excellent quality of life.
