          Abstract

          Clear cell sarcoma is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis. The therapeutic approach in the metastatic disease stage is controversial: to the authors' knowledge the use of concurrent chemoimmunotherapy has not been previously reported. We present a case of a 57-year-old male with metastatic clear cell sarcoma treated simultaneously with subcutaneous interferon-a 2b and six courses of chemotherapy according to the CyVEDIC regimen. Disease stabilization lasting 17 months was achieved.
