Abstract
The patient, a 59-year-old woman, with a clear cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses arising in the planta pedis was reported, She was given a chemotherapy including bleomycin, vincristine, and picibanil for the metastatic lesion in the right fifth rib and the lung which had rapidly increased in size after the operation. The tumor was responsive to it. Melanin pigment granules were identified in the tumor cells, which suggested a neural-crest origin for this tumor.
