<p class="abstract">Extra skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma (EES) is a rare, rapidly growing, round cell malignant tumour that can develop in the soft tissue at any location. Involvement of the paranasal sinus is a very rare entity. Nearly 80% of patients are younger than 20 years. Diagnosis is made after histopathological examination, immunohistochemical studies and cytogenetic studies. Treatment includes a multidisciplinary approach with surgery as the first line followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma (EES) is a rare presentation, representing only 15% of all primary Ewing’s sarcoma cases. Even more uncommon is EES presenting as a primary focus in the spinal canal. These rapidly growing tumors often present with focal neurological symptoms of myelopathy or radiculopathy. There are no classic characteristic imaging findings and thus the physician must keep a high index of clinical suspicion. Diagnosis can only be definitively made by histopathological studies. In this report, we discuss a primary cervical spine EES in a 53-year-old man who presented with a two-month history of left upper extremity pain and acute onset of weakness. Imaging revealed a cervical spinal canal mass. After undergoing cervical decompression, histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of Ewing’s sarcoma. A literature search revealed fewer than 25 reported cases of primary cervical spine EES published in the past 15 years and only one report demonstrating this pathology in a patient older than 30 years of ageage=38. Given the low incidence of this pathology presenting in this age group and the lack of treatment guidelines, each patient’s plan should be considered on a case-by-case basis until further studies are performed to determine optimal evidence based treatment.

Objective. We report a rare case of Ewing's sarcoma of the zygomatic arch presenting in a 69-year-old patient.Method. Case report and a review of the world literature on Ewing's sarcoma incidence and management.Results. Ewing's sarcoma is a malignant round cell tumour of neuroectodermal origin that typically presents in the pelvis and long bones of children and adolescent boys. This report is the first to document the presentation of ewing's sarcoma of the zygomatic arch in a 69-year-old lady. Our patient underwent surgical excision and radiotherapy and at 4-year followup has no signs of recurrence or metastasis.Conclusion. To our knowledge this is the first case report to document Ewing's sarcoma of this location in a 69-year-old patient. This case report highlights the importance of diagnostic investigations in Ewing's sarcoma and discusses the management issues that this rare presentation raises.
