Abstract
Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma is an ultra-rare and aggressive high-grade fibrosarcoma that was originally described in 1995. More than 100 cases are documented worldwide, with the most extensive case series reporting a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. ALK mutations are commonly seen in soft-tissue sarcomas; however, this is the first known case of an ALK V757M mutation. Here, we present a case using crizotinib in treating an ALK-positive sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma refractory to all traditional treatment options.
