Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare and aggressive tumor for which no standardized treatment regimens are available. The occurrence of this tumor in children and adolescents has been rarely reported, especially in the head and neck region. Involvement of the neuraxis is reported only in a few patients. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy with SEF of the skull with intracranial extension. The tumor recurred after initial resection and rapidly spread to the brain parenchyma and the meninges with no response to surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
硬化性上皮样纤维肉瘤(SEF)是一种罕见的侵袭性肿瘤,目前尚无标准化的治疗方案。这种肿瘤在儿童和青少年中的发生鲜有报道,尤其是在头颈部区域。仅在少数患者中报道过神经轴受累情况。我们报告一例13岁男孩,患有颅骨SEF并伴有颅内扩展。肿瘤在初次切除后复发,并迅速扩散至脑实质和脑膜,对手术、化疗和放疗均无反应。
