* Clear cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses, also referred to as malignant melanoma of soft parts, is a rare malignancy derived from neural crest cells. It usually presents in the distal lower extremities of young adults, frequently attached to tendons or aponeuroses. It behaves like a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma and is associated with poor overall survival. Magnetic resonance imaging studies of the lesion reveal T1 hypointensity, T2 hyperintensity, and gadolinium uptake. Grossly, the ...
