Extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma of supraglottis: A rare case report

Abstract

Ewing’s Sarcoma family of tumors is a group of small round tumor cells. Ewing’s sarcoma majority occurs in bone, accounts about 10 % of primary bone tumors. Extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma (ESS) is unusual and commonly seen in trunk, paravertebral, and chest wall region. It is rarely seen in head and neck region, accounting to 2–3 %. In head and neck region, ESS is seen in nasal or oral cavities, sinuses. EES originating in the larynx is very rare. Here, we report a 22 years old female having the complaints of change in voice and noisy breathing who was diagnosed as a case of EES of supraglottis. As the disease progressed during the time of diagnosis, she had to undergo emergency tracheostomy. The disease was inoperable so she received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiation followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. At present she is symptomatically better. The aim of this report is to put forward the rare site of Ewing’s Sarcoma and highlighting the early diagnosis in suspected case with IHC, providing effective multimodality treatment.
