Well done, all of you. This is a classic field from an epithelioid sarcoma although one would have to perform immunohistochemistry to exclude the very numerous spindle cell sarcomatous differential diagnoses. In addition, spindle cell squamous carcinoma and melanoma are important considerations. Have a great weekend.
