ABSTRACT The clear cell sarcoma was firstly described by Franz M. Enzinger in 1965. It is intimately associated to tendons and aponeurosis, exceptionally compromising the epidermis. It mainly affects young patients and is characterized by multiple local recurrences and late metastases. We present a male patient, aged 22 years, who underwent a radical surgical treatment (transmetatarsal amputation of the 1st and 2nd rays). The anatomic-pathological studies confirmed the diagnosis of clear cell sarcoma. 6 years after surgery, the patients is free of the disease and reincorporated to his social life.

Keywords : clear cell sarcoma; case presentation.
