We report a case of limited stage Ewing's sarcoma which was initially treated as chronic osteomyelitis for 3 years. A 24-year-old man presented with a one-week history of pain in the right arm and fever, with histology suggestive of osteomyelitis of the affected humerus. He developed multiple relapses of pain and fever; each episode responded to antibiotic treatment. A second biopsy was performed 3 years later and confirmed a diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma. Despite a 3-year delay in diagnosis, the disease remained localised. This case report highlights an atypical facet of the natural history of Ewing's sarcoma: a response to antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agents, and the limited stage of the disease despite a misdiagnosis of 3 years. This suggests the possibility that anti-inflammatory agents exert an inhibitory effect on the tumour growth. We also highlight the newer histologic and immunologic staining used in the diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma.

Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) is a highly malignant, small, round cell tumor that originates from the primitive neuroectodermal cells. Primary ES commonly occurs in early childhood or adolescence. It may present with skeletal and extraskeletal forms. The extraskeletal form is rarely encountered in the head and neck region and is extremely rare in the sinonasal tract. This is a case report of sinonasal ES in a 13-year-old female patient who presented with a 7-month history of right nasal obstruction, anosmia, intermittent epistaxis, snoring, and hearing loss. Clinical examination revealed a right nasal mass pushing the septum to the left side and extending to the nasopharynx. Endoscopic biopsy and histopathological analysis showed a small blue cell tumor suggestive of ES. The patient was treated with surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. After a follow-up of 5 years, the patient remains recurrence-free with excellent functional status and quality of life.

Abstract Background Reduction en mass (REM) is one of the rare complications of inguinal hernia reduction. Although REM can be detected on the basis of specific computed tomography (CT) scan findings, many radiologists are not familiar with its radiological appearance because of the scarcity of this complication, which may cause a delay in diagnosis. Case presentation The patient reported in this article was a 50-year-old Persian man with a history of inguinal hernia, who had been referred with the periumbilical pain that radiated to the right lower quadrant and developed following hernia replacement by the patient himself. REM diagnosis was based on clinical examination and CT scan findings, and surgical treatment was performed by the Lichtenstein repair and mesh implantation. Conclusions Although REM usually occurs after reduction with compression in the inguinal hernia, this unique case report highlighted the possibility of REM after self-reduction. Surgeons and radiologists should consider REM in patients with a history of inguinal hernia presenting with intestinal obstruction symptoms, even without any apparent signs of hernia in the physical examination.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

Ewing’s sarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor that typically arises in the long bones of the extremities. It belongs in the family of small round blue cell tumors and is characterized immunohistochemically by diffuse CD99 expression and molecularly by one of several oncogenic translocations, most commonly t(11;22)(q24;q12) between the <i>EWSR1</i> gene and the <i>FLI1</i> gene. Here we present a rare case of Ewing’s sarcoma in the sinonasal tract with <i>FUS-ERG</i> gene arrangement that was regarded for almost a decade as a sinonasal-type hemangiopericytoma (glomangiopericytoma). This case illustrates the surprisingly prolonged natural history of Ewing’s sarcoma that did not receive therapy for many years and the importance of considering alternative genetic translocations. Our experience suggests that the presence of diffuse CD99 membranous staining pattern in a small blue round cell tumor with morphology typical for Ewing’s sarcoma but FISH negative for <i>EWSR1</i> rearrangement should prompt consideration of <i>FUS-ERG</i> fusion.
