Abstract
Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma with a propensity for local aggressiveness, regional nodal spread, and pulmonary metastases. We report a case of epithelioid sarcoma in a neonate with bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia who developed liver, kidney, and bone metastases. The unusual presenting features and pattern of disease progression in this patient suggest that a different disease evaluation strategy should be considered for infants with epithelioid sarcoma.
