Abstract

Epithelioid sarcoma is a very rare tumor, comprising less than 1% of all soft tissue sarcoma. Due to its rarity and benign presentation, it is often misdiagnosed. We present a case of epithelioid sarcoma mimicking coronary artery bypass grafting post-operative keloid. Current literature suggests the management for epithelioid sarcoma to include surgery and adjuvant radiation. In this patient, chest wall reconstruction was done using titanium mesh and muscle flaps. Post-operative radiation was given and computerized tomography scan was evaluated 3 months after reconstruction.

Keywords: Epithelioid sarcoma; chest wall reconstruction; coronary artery bypass graft; keloid; titanium mesh
