Epithelioid Sarcoma of the Parotid Gland of a Child
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare soft-tissue tumor that usually occurs in young adults, with a median age of 26 years. This malignancy has been divided into distal and proximal types. The latter is found in proximal body sites including the head and neck region. We present a rare case of parotid proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma in a 1-year-old male child; this is the 4th reported case in the literature and the youngest in a pediatric patient to date. The tumor showed prominent rhabdoid features by light microscopy. Immunohistochemical studies revealed positive staining to cytokeratin (AE1/AE3), epithelial membrane antigen, vimentin, and BAF47. Thus, while the tumor resembled a malignant rhabdoid tumor, the positive staining for BAF47 supported instead a diagnosis of epithelioid sarcoma, according to our current understanding of these 2 tumor types. Also, the clinical course was not the typical aggressive behavior of a rhabdoid tumor. The patient underwent radical parotidectomy without adjuvant therapy and remained disease-free at follow-up, 14 months after surgery.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
