| Abstract: | Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a high grade soft tissue sarcoma with a distinct molecular profile. Gastrointestinal CCS is very rare and most reported cases are in adults. We describe a 10-year-old female with a 4-month history of anemia who later developed fever, weight loss and abdominal pain. She was subsequently found to have a large infiltrative gastric mass. A diagnosis of CCS was confirmed by molecular and cytogenetic studies. This case illustrates the necessity of a multimodal approach, particularly the use of molecular studies, in the diagnostic evaluation of rare tumors presenting in unusual sites. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
