Abstract
We report a case of a 60-year-old female with severe and progressive pain of her right knee. Physical therapy, pain medication, and arthroscopic debridement were unsuccessful. Finally, pathological examination revealed an intra-articular epithelioid sarcoma, a rare tumor in an atypical location. Patient died within 5 months after initial admission. Despite this unusual clinical course and presentation, we would like to share the valuable clinical lessons we learned from this case. Introduction of a coordinating physician in combination with a multidisciplinary treatment regarding optimal pain management should optimize treatment results in future patients.Entities:
