Abstract

Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma is a rare fibrosarcoma variant in which more than half of patients experience local recurrence or metastatic spread. In the current literature, there is limited and nonspecific imaging data, contributing to frequent misdiagnosis and delays in treatment intervention. Given the poor prognosis associated with this malignancy and the high probability of metastases, accurate and prompt diagnoses are critical. In this article, we report the case of a 27-year-old female diagnosed with metastatic sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma following the discovery of a growing palpable mass on her right gluteus maximus muscle. We focus on the use of radiological imaging modalities in optimizing diagnosis and correlate our imaging and pathological findings.
