Abstract:
Extraskeletal Neoplasm Resembling Ewings Sarcoma was firstly reported with comprehensive review of 39 cases by L. Angervall and F.M. Enzinger in 1975. The tumors chiefly affected young adults and most commonly involved the soft tissue of lower extremity. Microscopically, they were consisted of solidly packed small, round or ovoid cells arranged in sheets or lobules, which were indistinguishable from those of the Ewings sarcoma of bone. The authors recently experienced a soft tissue sarcoma occurring in deltoid area of young male patient, which was diagnosed extraskeletal neoplasm resembling Ewings sarcoma. The case review is presented.
