It is associated with a high incidence of local recurrence and metastasis. Due to the tumor's infrequent occurrence and histological similarities with other disease processes, diagnosing epithelioid sarcoma has become extremely difficult. We report a rare case of epithelioid sarcoma occurring as a cauliflower-like growth between the index finger and middle finger of the left hand in a 30-year-old female with pathological challenges in the diagnosis.}, URL ={https://www.archintsurg.org/article.asp?issn=2278-9596;year=2016;volume=6;issue=1;spage=57;epage=59;aulast=Akhtar;t=6}, eprint ={https://www.archintsurg.org/article.asp?issn=2278-9596;year=2016;volume=6;issue=1;spage=57;epage=59;aulast=Akhtar;t=6} }
