Histiocytic sarcoma involving multiple abdominal sites: A rare case with KRAS mutation and response to ICE chemotherapy

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare and aggressive malignant neoplasm from histiocytic cells. This case report describes a 52-year-old male with HS involving multiple abdominal sites, diagnosed through imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemical analysis, which identified a KRAS mutation. The patient underwent surgical resection followed by 6 cycles of ICE chemotherapy, resulting in significant clinical improvement and reduction of tumor burden. This case highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and potential treatment approach for this rare malignancy.

Abstract

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare and aggressive malignant neoplasm from histiocytic cells. This case report describes a 52-year-old male with HS involving multiple abdominal sites, diagnosed through imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemical analysis, which identified a KRAS mutation. The patient underwent surgical resection followed by 6 cycles of ICE chemotherapy, resulting in significant clinical improvement and reduction of tumor burden.
