Clear cell sarcoma, abbreviated CCS, is an uncommon malignant soft tissue tumour.

It is also known as soft-tissue melanoma and melanoma of the soft parts, as it has a strong morphological resemblance to malignant melanoma.[1]

It should not to be confused with clear cell sarcoma of the kidney.

General

  • Molecular changes and origin distinct from malignant melanoma.
  • Rare soft tissue tumour.[2]
  • Guarded prognosis: 5 year and 10 year survival ~ 60% and 40% in one series.[2]
  • First described in 1965.[3]

Gross

  • Usually - deep soft tissue or extremities.
    • Classically associated with tendons and aponeuroses.[4]

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Architecture: sheeting or fascicular (bundles) arrangement.
    • Fibrous septae - between tumour cells.
  • Tumour cells uniform (low pleomorphism) - spindle-shaped or epithelioid:
    • Classically have clear cytoplasm.
    • Prominent nucleoli - basophilic - key feature.
    • +/-Binucleation.

DDx:

Images

  • Clear cell sarcoma - intermed. mag. (WC)

  • Clear cell sarcoma - very high mag. (WC)

  • Clear cell sarcoma (WC/Gardner)

IHC

Features:[1]

  • S100 +ve.
  • HMB-45 +ve.
  • Melan A (MART-1) +ve; sometimes -ve.
  • BCL2 +ve.
  • CD57 +ve (usually).

Keratins:

  • EMA may be +ve.
  • CAM5.2 -ve.
  • AE1/AE3 -ve.
