A rare localization of Ewing's Sarcoma in the coracoid process: A case report and literature review on scapular Ewing's sarcomas

Abstract

Ewing's sarcoma can affect any bone. Primary localization in the coracoid process is extremely rare and atypical. In the literature there have been a few reports of Ewing's sarcoma of the scapula. We report the case of an adolescent who presented to our department for investigation of a swelling in the left shoulder. Imaging revealed an osteolytic mass centered on the coracoid process. Histological study was in favor of Ewing's sarcoma.
