ABSTRACT
Primary bone tumors are rare, representing only 5% of all tumors in adolescents and young adults. Of this group, the second place is occupied by osseous and extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma. Histologically it is characterized by presenting small, round and blue cells. Symptoms are directly related to the location and size of the tumor. In general, treatment is based on chemotherapy followed by local therapy (surgery and/or radiotherapy) and again chemotherapy.
Clinical case: a 70-year-old woman was presented with a tumor in the right groin with progressive and accelerated growth. A hematological neoplasm was suspected and a 45 mm soft tissue mass in the right groin region with a standardized uptake value max of 9.8 was found on PET CT. A surgical resection was performed and in the histopathological study reported a lymph node infiltrated by a primitive neuroectodermal tumor/Ewing's sarcoma. After that, the patient was treated with postoperative radiotherapy. Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma is a rare disease; in general, these patients have a better prognosis than patients with osseous Ewing's sarcoma. As there is little evidence of treatment, it must be individualized and therefore subjected to a multidisciplinary approach.
