Ewing's sarcoma arising from the right sided chest wall: a case report.

Abstract

Here, the authors present a case of a 21-year-old female with a diagnosis of right sided chest wall ES treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection of the mass. The patient presented to the Surgical OPD with shortness of breath for 6 months associated with chest pain on the right side. Radiological investigations including chest X-ray and multi-detector row computed tomography chest was done. Additionally, diagnosis of ES was confirmed with histopathological examination of the mass obtained from fine needle aspiration cytology. She was planned for safe maximal resection of tumour with chest wall reconstruction using double prolene mesh with bone cement and the defect was sutured with adjacent ribs. Good outcome was noted on postoperative period with resolution of symptoms. This procedure is now commonly used and is considered as an effective treatment for chest wall tumours, which was also noted in our case and the procedure is also well tolerated.
