Extraskeletal Ewing′s sarcoma (EES) is a rare tumor. Paravertebral Ewing′s sarcoma requires more extensive therapy as compared to Ewing′s sarcoma of bone. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) plays an important role in the early diagnosis of these cases. We present a case where paravertebral extraosseous Ewing′s sarcoma was diagnosed on FNAC in a 19-year-old girl.
