Abstract
Malignant tumours arising from tendons are rare. Among those reported most have been interpreted as synovial sarcoma or fibrosarcoma until Enzinger in 1965 described a new type which he called “clear-cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses”. This tumour which is roughly spherical, firm and usually well-defined consists of compact nests and fascicles of pale-staining round or fusiform cells of epithelioid appearance. The cellular aggregates are enclosed be delicate fibrous septa merging with tendinous or aponeurotic tissue.This brief paper presents a 37-year-old Japanese woman with a recurrent tumour arising from a aponeuroses of the sole of her left foot. The histological findings of this tumour are consistent with a diagnosis of clear-cell sarcoma.
