Parotid gland Ewing Sarcoma in a child – A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Ewing Sarcoma (ES) is a small round cell tumour of neurectodermal origin commonly seen in the pediatric age group. Uncommon sites of occurence of Ewing sarcoma poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We report a rare case of extraosseous Ewing Sarcoma (EOES) arising from the parotid gland in a child. This case report compares the clinical characteristics and outcome of all the cases of paediatric parotid gland EOES described in literature.
