A rare case of extraosseous Ewing’s sarcoma

Abstract

Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) is a rare and highly aggressive tumour of neuroectodermal origin. Primary pulmonary ES is extremely rare and difficult to distinguish from other lung tumours due to its similar presentation and nonspecific symptoms. It requires a deliberate interplay of imaging, histopathological exam, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and genetic analysis to confirm the diagnosis. Here we present a rare case of extra osseus ES.
