Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma of the Coccyx: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

ABSTRACT

Coccydynia in adult patients is not uncommon and is frequently neglected. Coccydynia is mostly associated with fall on buttocks. In long-standing cases, coccydynia can be debilitating. Rarely coccydynia can be due to more sinister causes and surgeons should be aware of all differential diagnosis. We present a case of an elderly female who presented with a complaint of pain over coccyx which was not subsiding with conventional treatment methods. Biopsy was done and a diagnosis of sclerosing epitheloid fibrosarcoma was made. We describe an unusual case of coccydynia secondary to this tumour with the histopathology finding and surgical management.
