Prostatic sarcoma of the Ewing family in a 33-year-old male – A case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Ewing sarcoma is the second most common primary bone tumor seen in children and adolescents, typically presenting between 10 and 20 years of age. Extraosseous sarcomas of the Ewing family in adults are rare. We report a manifestation of this tumor entity in the periprostatic tissue of a 33-year-old male and discuss our treatment approach. Transrectal biopsy is a feasible and simple diagnostic tool for unclear pelvic masses. Multi-modal therapy and central registries are needed to gain knowledge of rare pelvic tumors like Ewing sarcoma. Keywords: Ewing sarcoma, Pelvic neoplasms, Adult, Surgery, Chemotherapy, Prostate
