Abstract

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), a malignant soft tissue tumor with unknown etiology, predominantly occurs in the head and neck region, mainly the tongue and the orbit. The characteristic histopathological feature includes alveolar or pseudoglandular pattern, with PAS-positive, diastase-resistant intra-cytoplasmic inclusions. Primary therapy is total resection and adjuvant chemoradiation therapy. The present case study describes a rare case of ASPS of the anterior chest wall in a 15-year-old patient, diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology. Total resection of the tumor with chemo-radiotherapy was performed and the follow-up after 2 years showed neither local recurrence nor distant metastases.
