摘要：

Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) was first described by Enzinger in 1970. It is a rare variant of soft tissue sarcoma with a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of 50%. Here, we reported a case of epithelioid sarcoma in the parapharyngeal space of an adult, resulting in a favorable prognosis after chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A 34-year-old female who complained of pharynx pain and discomfort was suspected of having a tumor in the right parapharyngeal space by CT scan. Excision biopsy suggested epithelioid sarcoma. Clinical and radiological studies did not reveal tumor distant metastasis in the patient. After excisional biopsy, the patient underwent chemotherapy and external beam radiation treatment. She has remained alive for 2years and 7months without recurrence since her last treatment. In this paper, we also provide a detailed review of the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of epithelioid sarcoma in previously reported cases.
