Epithelioid sarcoma has only been rarely reported to involve the pleura. One patient who had received six infusions of infliximab 5 mg/kg had an epithelioid sarcoma that was reported approximately 9 mo after the last study infusion. The histologic differential diagnosis is predicated on whether the tumor is biphasic or monophasic; it includes adenocarcinoma, spindle cell carcinoma, fibrosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, glomangiopericytoma (hemangiopericytoma), leiomyosarcoma, malignant melanoma, epithelioid sarcoma, and angiosarcoma. |
