Sarcoma de Ewing extraesquelético: relato de um caso raro e exuberante simulando lipoma Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma: report of a rare and exuberant case simulating lipoma RESUMO Sarcoma de Ewing extraesquelético (EES) é tumor raro e agressivo, acomete mais homens entre 10-20 anos e representa 25% dos sarcomas de Ewing. Caso relatado pelo diagnóstico prévio de lipoma de crescimento acelerado, destacando a importância do diagnóstico histopatológico. Masculino, 14 anos, apresentando tumoração de 10x10cm no ombro direito há um ano, com ultrassonografia sugestiva de lipoma. Realizada exérese da lesão, sendo confirmado EES pela imuno-histoquímica. O diagnóstico de EES em jovens é desafiador frente a outras tumorações subcutâneas, sendo a histopatologia imprescindível. A rápida progressão do tumor e os elevados índices metastáticos evidenciam a importância da terapêutica precoce. Palavras-chave: Sarcoma de Ewing; Tumores neuroectodérmicos primitivos; Sarcoma ABSTRACT Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a rare tumor that affects men between 10-20 years old and represents 25% of Ewing sarcomas. We report a case due to the previous diagnosis of a fast-growing lipoma to highlight the importance of histopathological diagnosis. A 14-year-old boy presented 10x10 cm tumor in the right shoulder for a year with ultrasonography suggesting lipoma. The lesion was excised and EES was confirmed by immunohistochemical analysis. EES diagnosis in young people is challenging compared to subcutaneous tumors, and histopathology is essential. The rapid progression of the tumor and high metastatic rates highlight the significance of early treatment.
