Clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue (also known as malignant melanoma of soft tissue and clear cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses), is a rare high‐grade sarcoma, currently included in the WHO category of soft tissue tumors with uncertain differentiation. Establishing a diagnosis on cytology is challenging but knowledge of the characteristic cytomorphological and immunocytochemical features of this entity can allow an accurate cytological diagnosis.
