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

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...

description 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.
