XXXX of the scalp: a case series and review of literature.

@entity1 @entity5 @entity4 @entity2698 @entity1492 @entity79 @entity3
INTRODUCTION: @entity1492 ( @entity1492 ) is a soft tissue sarcoma of @entity1 mainly involving lower extremities usually presenting during the first year of life. A subset of cases occur in the head and neck, but scalp involvement is exceptionally rare. @entity1 AND METHODS: We report clinicopathological features of three cases of @entity1492 involving the scalp diagnosed between 2011 and 2012. RESULTS: The ages of the three @entity1 at the time of diagnosis ranged from 12 to 90  days (mean 48  days). All were males and presented with @entity4 at birth which grew rapidly in size. The @entity5 was located in the left temporal region in two cases and the right temporoparietal region in one case. On imaging, underlying bone involvement was noted in two cases. The mean size of the resected @entity5 was 8  cm. All cases exhibited a cellular @entity5 arranged in sheets of uniform oval to spindle cells, increased mitosis, and @entity2698 -like vessels. All @entity1 are alive after a mean follow-up of 39.6  months. Recurrence was seen in one case due to incomplete excision. No @entity3 was seen in any of the cases. CONCLUSION: @entity1492 of the scalp is rare and carries a good prognosis. Underlying @entity79 is rare but was noted seen in two of our cases. A male predominance was seen in our cases.
