Abstract

Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor typically affecting young adults. These tumors are most often seen in the deep soft tissues of the extremities and patients generally present with advanced disease. Primary bone involvement is extremely rare and has only been reported in seven cases. This is the first case of alveolar soft part sarcoma in bone documenting the ASPL-TFE3 gene product. Herein, we report a rare presentation of alveolar soft part sarcoma presenting as a primary bone neoplasm involving the proximal fibula in a 41-year-old woman.
