PECOMA OF THE TALUS, A RARE CASE AND THE LITERATURE REVIEW

Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms (PEComas) are mesenchymal tumors which evolve out of the perivascular epithelioid cells (PECs).Soft tissue, visceral organs, and skin are the most encountered body regions. Primary bone PEComas,especially PEComas of talus, are remarkably rare; to the best of our knowledge, only sixteen primary bone PEComa cases have been reported since 2002. We report a 51-year-old male presented with PEComa of the talus and review the literature.
