Abstract:
Recently we experienced a soft tissue sarcoma originated in the spinal epidural space at upper sacral area and extending into intrapelvic area in a young male patient. It was diagnosed primary Ewing's sarcoma histologically. Ewing's sarcoma is usually found in long bones. But rarely discovered in an extraosseous area. So, spinal epidural Ewing's sarcoma is rare to be found. Only 6 cases were reported in the English literature until 1986. We present the case with review of literatures.
