Ewing's Sarcoma: A Case Report
View through CrossRef
Ewing’s sarcoma is a bone tumor, considered one of the most aggressive, for its great capacity of metastasizing. Higher incidence in men, appears almost exclusively in the first three decades of life. Affects the long bones in the metaphyseal region, at its proximal end; the most affected are the femur, iliac, tibia, humerus, fibula and ribs; however, there are atypical locations such as in the hands, feet and extraosseous. The clinical case of a 13‐year‐old male adolescent patient, who two months before his medical attention presented a mass at the level of the second and third right costal arches that increased vertiginously. After routine and laboratory examinations performed at a third level complexity hospital, he was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, where 3 chemotherapy sessions were performed; however, despite the treatment, he presented brain and bone metastases. Ewing's tumor was highly aggressive and has a bleak prognosis.
Keywords: sarcoma, ewing, tomography, morbid metastasis.
