CHILDHOOD EWING SARCOMA OF THE BLADDER: A RARE CANCER

Abstract

Ewing sarcoma of the bladder is an exceptionally rare form of bladder tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all cases. The exact cause of this condition remains unknown, and molecular testing has shown that the presence of the EWSR1 gene rearrangement is essential to conrm the diagnosis. Treatment for Ewing sarcoma of the bladder typically involves a comprehensive approach, combining chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. The prognosis for patients with this condition can vary widely, depending on the stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis and the response to treatment. However, overall, Ewing sarcoma of the bladder is considered a highly aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. This is often due to late-stage diagnosis and the high likelihood of recurrence. We report a case of a 1- year-old boy diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma of the bladder while discussing the appropriate literature
