“…21) Radical surgery has been advocated, 1,19,30) but these tumors are sensitive to radio-and chemotherapy, so a less aggressive approach should be considered. 2) The most common symptoms of Ewing's sarcoma are pain and swelling. The characteristic signs are low-grade fever and general malaise.…”

A 17-year-old female presented with a very rare case of primary Ewing's sarcoma of the skull involving the occipitotemporal region. Systemic examination found no evidence of metastasis. The tumor was surgically removed, and the patient underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Fourteen months after surgery there has been no recurrence of the tumor. Cranial primary Ewing's tumor has a good prognosis after radical surgery and adjuvant therapy.

“…A large number of studies have consistently shown poor prognostic relationship of ES with larger size of lesion, female sex, presence of metastasis, pelvic location, high serum LDH, greater than 17 years of age, leukocyte count [7000/dl and lymphocyte count [2000/dl [1,13,27]. Radiochemotherapy followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation is a newer therapy option with promising preliminary results, especially for these high-risk patients [27].…”

Ewing's sarcoma is a malignant, round cell tumor arising from the bones and primarily affecting children and adolescent, accounting for 3 % of all childhood malignancies. Although the long bones and the trunk are typically affected, rare cases of it involving isolated bones throughout the body have been reported. Involvement of the skull bones is rare, constituting 1-6 % of the total Ewing's sarcoma cases but those affecting the cranial bones are rarer still, constituting only 1 %. We describe an 8 months old infant having Ewing sarcoma, of the petrous and mastoid parts of temporal bone along with the occipital bone, whose clinical presentation mimicked mastoiditis with facial nerve palsy. We discuss the clinical and therapeutic course of an extensive primary Ewing sarcoma of the temporal bone, which was treated without performing surgery and review this entity's literature in detail.

Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma is often described as a tumour involving the soft tissues of the lower extremities and the paravertebral region. Primary Ewing's sarcoma of the cranium is extremely rare, with only 17 cases reported so far [24]. Involvement of the paranasal sinus is a very rare entity. Involvement of facial bones is characterized by clinical and radiological features distinct from those commonly observed in other sites. Because of the above peculiarities a delay in diagnosis and thus in starting treatment is very probable in such cases. Primary Ewings sarcoma rarely arises in the facial skeleton and only occasionally in the maxilla. To date, there have been 22 cases of maxillary Ewing's sarcoma reported in the English-language literature [25]. We report here a new case of Ewing's sarcoma localized to the maxillary sinus, nose and the orbit, successfully treated by surgery, local high dosage radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy. Keywords Ewing's sarcoma Paranasal sinusEwing's sarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis, most commonly arising in the skeleton. The head and neck are unusual sites for primary Ewing's sarcoma. Primary Ewing's sarcoma of the paranasal sinus (PNS) is exceptionally rare and most cases are described in the maxillary sinus [16]. Of the 14 cases that we are aware of reported in the literature, the maxillary sinus (7 cases) is the most common site followed by the ethmoid sinus (2 cases ) and the nasal fossa (5 cases ) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].
