Extra-osseous Ewing′s sarcoma of sciatic nerve masquerading as an infected hemangioma: A rare case report

Abstract

Extra-osseous Ewing′s Sarcoma (EES) arising from the peripheral nerve is rarely reported in children. Here, we report an instance of EES arising from the left sciatic nerve mimicking an infected hemangioma. This case highlights the need for a high index of suspicion and early histological diagnosis to avoid diagnostic delay.
