Abstract
Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare and deceptive lesion, often confused bot h clinically and on histopathological examination with other malignant processes. The surgical course of two patients with initial diagnoses of Dupuytren's disease is described. Early biopsy of all unusual fibr otic lesions on the palm is recommended. An aggressive surgical approa ch to confirmed malignancy is mandatory.
