Abstract EN
Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is an uncommon tumor that usually presents as an extremity mass but can rarely manifest as a gastrointestinal tumor with a diverse spectrum of symptoms, most commonly related to a mass effect or ulceration.
Herein we report a case in which two separate tumors, one in the duodenum and the other in the jejunum, present concurrently.
The subject presented with symptomatic anemia and underwent imaging and endoscopic studies that culminated in the discovery of the two lesions.
He subsequently underwent operative treatment with resection of both tumors and made an unremarkable recovery.
The resection specimen consisted of two separate clear cell sarcomas with negative margins.
Under microscopic evaluation, they demonstrated nested growths of epithelioid cells with scattered spindled cells infiltrating the enteric wall.
The neoplastic cells were positive for S100 with scattered expression of Melan A.
Florescence in situ hybridization revealed a translocation at the EWRS1 locus.
He was disease-free for 30 months following the procedure; then he developed a rapidly progressing metastatic disease with subsequent death 4 months later.
