Primary Ewing's sarcoma of the skull

Abstract: Ewing's sarcoma, a highly malignant bone tumour, typically affects the pelvis and the long bones of the lower extremities in children and young adults and primary involvement of the skull is rare. Here, we present a case of primary Ewing's sarcoma of the skull with localised swelling in a young adult that involved the frontoparietal region of the skull and was very aggressive in nature. Even with aggressive surgery, the patient had multiple recurrences within 1 month of surgery and ultimately the patient died.

“…Asifur and et al, in a case report study have explained a rare situation about an 18-year-old right-handed boy with a rapidly enlarging, paramedian swelling in the frontoparietal region for a duration of 3 months [ 16 ]. This case has a great similarity with our patient, but the location of the tumor was different.…”

“…Another use of CT is in demonstrating bony healing after chemotherapy. 1,11 The extent of bony erosion, seen on CT scans, is an excellent guide to demarcate the extent of craniectomy. Three-dimensional CT reconstructed images can add on to axial bony sections to define exact calvarial bony sites.…”
