Soft tissue sarcoma is associated with various rare cancers, which includes
clear cell sarcoma, angiosarcoma, alveolar soft-part sarcoma, malignant mesenchymoma, adult fibrosarcoma,
clear cell sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and kaposi sarcoma.
The differential diagnosis of MNTI includes other small round blue cell tumors of childhood, especially neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, and lymphoma, in addition to melanogenic tumors, including malignant melanoma and
clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue.
Because of the unusual histologic presentation, which included the presence of clear cells, multinucleated giant cells, and with no epidermal in situ component, the differential diagnosis included
clear cell sarcoma and Spitz nevus.
In broad terms, the differential diagnosis of epithelioid MPNST includes melanoma,
clear cell sarcoma, epithelioid sarcoma and carcinoma.

Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a rare distinctive soft tissue sarcoma, known to originate from neural crest cells, that has been classified as a variant of melanoma since it was first reported in 1965 [1].
The most useful tests in reevaluating diagnosis were FISH (for assessing MDM2 amplification status to determine whether differentiated lipomatous tumours or pleomorphic tumours were ALT/WDL or DDL, resp.) and for assessment of EWSR1 gene rearrangement (for diagnosis of a variety of tumours, such as
clear cell sarcoma).
