Abstract
- Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) is a rare malignant small round cell tumour that primarily affects the skeletal system. It accounts for less than 4–10% of all types of bone malignancies, with long bones and pelvis being involved most commonly. Clinically, ES can mimic odontogenic inflammation/abscess. Integration of clinical, radiographic, histologic and immunohistochemical information is essential for prompt diagnosis. Aggressive multimodal therapy and continuous follow up results in better prognosis of patient diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma. Through this paper we reiterate the importance of promptly diagnosing and treating this rare tumour entity that can help in improving the prognosis.
