Abstract
Case: A 40-year-old man was evaluated for a painful mass on his right calf, and a 36-year-old woman presented with a painless mass on her right foot. Final pathology revealed marked nuclear atypia and positivity for S100/SOX10 and AE1/AE3 confirming diagnoses of myoepithelial carcinoma. Both patients underwent surgical resection and are without evidence of local recurrence or metastatic disease at 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: Soft-tissue tumors presenting in the extremities warrant careful evaluation and timely histopathologic diagnosis. Myoepithelial carcinomas are rare, aggressive tumors with a propensity for local recurrence and metastasis. Treatment of these tumors should be discussed by a multidisciplinary tumor team.
