“…Furthermore, since many patients with ES are young and are often physically active, the pain is frequently mistaken for bone growth or injury, resulting in a delayed or misdiagnosis (42). ES family tumors often progress rapidly and result in palpable swelling as observed in the majority of case studied (24,25,(43)(44)(45). In the oral cavity, the affected area is seen with tooth mobility (29), corroborating our findings.…”

“…3 Generally it presents with pain and local swelling, dilated veins, hyperthermia, anemia, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate and leukocytosis. 2,3,4 A history of previous trauma is present in many reported cases. The initial evaluation includes radiographic study of the suspected area, which shows areas of bone rarefaction, frequently associated with increased density, periosteal reaction, and bone neoformation resulting in an "onion layers" appearance.…”

“…Intracytoplasmic glycogen is a definitive aspect, but not pathognomonic because it is also present in other primitive tumor cells such as osteosarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas and neuroblastomas. 3,4 Hence, the differential diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma encompasses a wide number of diseases including osteosarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, neuroblastomas, mesenchymal chondrosarcoma and malignant lymphoma.…”

a b s t r a c tCONTEXT: Ewing's sarcoma is a rare neoplasm, which usually arises in long bones of the limbs and in flat bones of the pelvis, with the involvement of head and neck bones being very unusual.CASE REPORT: a case of Ewing's sarcoma occurring in the mandible of a 35-year-old female. Pain and swelling of the tumor were the main complaints. The early hypothesis was an undifferentiated malignant neoplasm, possibly a sarcoma. The CT scan depicted an expansive lesion, encapsulated, with septa and characteristics of soft tissue, involving the left side of the mandible and extending to the surrounding tissues. The patient underwent surgical excision of the lesion, the definitive diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma was established, and the patient commenced on radiotherapy.

“…Although ES is most often seen presenting osteolytic change with bone destruction, this aspect is not a pathognomonic feature, as other lesions can have the same image pattern, such as neuroblastoma, osteogenic sarcoma, histiocytosis X, and osteomyelitis (5,13). The presence of sun-ray spicules of periosteal bone and displacement or destruction of unerupted tooth follicles have been described as the commonest radiological features for ES affecting jaw bones (7,13). Further, the presence of the laminar periosteal response (known as "onion skin" reaction), which some authors point out as a common radiological feature described for lots of ES of the long bones, is rarely seen in jaws lesions (6,14).…”

Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a malignancy primarily affecting bone tissue that is commonly diagnosed in adolescents and young adults. Its occurrence in the head and neck region is unusual and generally involves the mandible and maxilla. An extensive review of the literature shows only few cases of the oral ES in patients under the age of 5. This paper reports a rare case of ES of the mandible in a 4-year-old girl, which had been previously misdiagnosed and treated as a dental abscess. In the clinical examination, a hard immobile expansive mass of 5 cm in diameter was observed on the left side of the mandible. Radiographic examination revealed a radiolucent lesion with ill-defined borders and wide vestibular bone plate destruction. Microscopically, the tumor was composed by monotonous small round cells that exhibited immunoreactivity for CD99, vimentin and pancytokeratin. The patient was subjected to multiagent chemotherapy with ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide, vincristine, cyclophosfamide and doxorrubycin (VAC/ICE regimen). However, after the first chemotherapeutic cycle, the patient died due to disseminated infection. This case elucidates the importance of professional knowledge of the relevant aspects of malignant lesions such as ES.
