Epithelioid sarcoma masquerading as Dupuytrenʹs disease

Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare and deceptive lesion, often confused both clinically and on histopathological examination with other malignant processes. The surgical course of two patients with initial diagnoses of Dupuytrenʹs disease is described. Early biopsy of all unusual fibrotic lesions on the palm is recommended. An aggressive surgical approach to confirmed malignancy is mandatory.
