Summary
Three cases of epithelioid sarcoma are reported. Local recurrences after excision were commonly observed. In one case, metastatic skin lesions appeared several years after removal of the primary tumor. An early and complete removal by surgical excision is essential if local recurrences and eventual metastasis are to be avoided.
