The epithelioid sarcoma proximal type is an aggressive malignancy tumor affecting young adults and expressing epithelial markers and CD34 (50% of cases). We report a case of epithelioid sarcoma proximal type in pleural localization in a young femelle 26 years. Through our observation we will illustrate the misleading and aggressive nature of this tumor that presents a diagnostic trap. The diagnosis is strictly pathological and need to carry out a thorough pathological examination.
Author Keywords: epithelioid sarcoma, proximal type, aggressive tumor, CD34, pathological examination.

Abstract: (french)
Le sarcome épithélioïde de type proximal est une tumeur maligne agressive affectant les adultes jeunes et exprimant les marqueurs épithéliaux et le CD34 (50% des cas). Nous rapportons un cas d'un sarcome épithélioïde de type proximal de localisation pleural chez une jeune de 26 ans. A travers notre observation nous allons illustrer le caractère trompeur et agressif de cette tumeur qui présente un piège diagnostique et met en jeu le pronostic vital. Le diagnostic positif est strictement anatomopathologique d'où l'intérêt de réaliser un examen anatomopathologique minutieux.
Author Keywords: sarcome épithélioïde, type proximal, tumeur agressive, CD34, examen anatomopathologique.
