Primary rhabdoid epithelioid sarcoma of the left thigh mimicking epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma: A diagnostic pitfall.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionEpithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all adult soft-tissue sarcomas. The diagnosis of such malignancy is challenging. We reported a 31-year-old male diagnosed with rhabdoid ES that histologically mimicked epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma in a 31-year-old male. CASE PRESENTATION: A 39-year-old male presented with pain in the left thigh. He had planned for open reduction internal fixation due to left femur fracture. During the surgery, the surgeon found abnormal appearance of the bone and the surrounding tissue. The histopathology examination showed spindle-to-polygonal epithelioid cells arranged in nodular pattern with necrotic areas. Immunohistochemistry examination revealed vimentin and CK positive expression, while myogenin was negative. Further immunostaining using CD34 and HMB45 were also negative. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of ES based on only the clinical manifestation has proven to be difficult. Thus, the histopathology examination followed by immunohistochemistry is considered as the main modality for the diagnosis. Better understanding of clinical properties of ES will aid in deciding the best treatment for the patient.
