In addition, his cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebra presented with wide range of high metabolism signs, but no bond damage manifestation. Histopathological examination of the peritoneal lesion and bone marrow cytology and morphology confirmed the diagnosis of peritoneal primary sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma accompanied with leukemoid reaction.
Conclusion: Here we describe a rare case of SEF arising from peritoneal, an unusual origin and location for such a relatively rare lesion. Besides, the atypical clinical manifestations and the typical imaging of this patient will provide guiding significance in diagnosing this disease.
