Abstract
Mesenteric extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma with small bowel involvement
Highlights
Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a malignant, small blue cell neoplasm of the bone and soft tissue, characterized by specific translocations involving the EWSR1 gene
Soft tissue sarcomas encompass around 1% of all malignant tumors, but they are relatively more frequent in childhood and adolescent age [8], and extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma belongs to this group of tumors
If the Ewing sarcoma has proved before the surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy could be the first choice of treatment
Summary
Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a malignant, small blue cell neoplasm of the bone and soft tissue, characterized by specific translocations involving the EWSR1 gene. It was originally described by James Ewing in 1921. A small bowel segment and an associated mesenteric mass were removed. Histological examination confirmed extraskeletal mesenteric Ewing sarcoma with small bowel involvement. A mesenteric mass of at least 4cm, and a small bowel segment of 15cm were removed. The histological examination confirmed a rare extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma in the mesenterium that involved the small bowel wall.
