Abstract

Clear cell sarcoma of soft tissues is a very rare, malignant soft tissue tumor that usually arises in the extremities, with a predilection for the lower limbs. This report presents a 45‑year‑old male with a painless mass in the right lumbar region for one year. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 3.6x3.2x1.5‑cm soft tissue mass of the right lumbar region. The tumoral cells had pleomorphic nuclei and large amounts of clear cytoplasm, and a proportion of the cells contained melanin. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed, which identified that the cells were positive for S‑100, MITF and HMB‑45 tumor markers. The patient underwent a postoperative chemotherapy protocol and had no local recurrences at one year post‑surgery.
