Abstract:
Ewing's sarcoma had never been described as a primary tumor outside bone, although other malignant skeletal tumors, such as osteogenic sarcoma & chondrosarcoma, are known to arise from extraskeletal soft tissues. In 1975, Angervall & F.M. Enzinger reported 39 cases of small, round or oval cell sarcomas occuring in the soft tissues and considered histologically indistinguishable from Ewing's sarcoma of bone. Recently, We experienced one case of extraskeletal neoplasm resembling Ewing's sarcoma of bone which it was located deeply in the calf area of young female patient and the case review has been followed until the death, approxlmately 10.5 months after removal.
