“…Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma (EOES) such purely intramedullary ES is a very exceptional uncommon, in our knowledge any case had been reported in the English literature. In reference to EOES, some differential aspects from skeletal Ewing's sarcoma must be notified [12]. The average age of occurrence is around 17 years (range 4 -47 years), in contrast to 10 years for skeletal Ewing's sarcoma.…”

“…Both all occurs more commonly in males than females with a ratio of 2/1. [13] Initial symptoms of intramedullary Ewing's sarcoma were completely similar to common tumor in the spinal cord, which usually included back pain and/or radicular pain, decreasing sensation or absence first and followed by motor dysfunction and difficulty of urination and defecation [6] [12]. Most of the patients present with insidious onset neurological deficits.…”

Ewing's sarcoma, a group of primary neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), is an uncommon rare highly malignant tumor mostly affecting the bones of male patients, and accounts for approximately 10% of the primary malignant bone tumors, and occupies the second place after osteosarcoma in children's less than 20 years. Primary intramedullary Ewing's sarcoma is an extremely rare condition. Here, we present a case of a 16-year-old girl with progressive weakness of lower extremities, inability to walk, progressive low back pain, bilateral leg pain, paresthesia and urinary retention. Spinal MRI showed intramedullary abnormal signal focus from T11 to L3 vertebrae with moderate heterogeneous enhancement on T1 weighted sequences. After surgery, histological examination found a lot of small round-cell tumors with a high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, frequent mitoses and apoptotic nuclei suggesting a diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma and confirmed by CD99 reactivity. She had undergone adjuvant chemotherapy and irradiation and was free of symptoms since 02 years. Within this single pure case of intramedullary Ewing's sarcoma, perhaps the 1st in the English literature, the authors described this extremely rare uncommon localization with a brief review of the literature.
