Primary Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma of the foot with extensive skeletal and pulmonary metastasis: A rare case report.


ABSTRACT:

Introduction

First -degree cutaneous extraskeletal Ewing's sarcomas (ESs) are incredibly uncommon skin-specific tumors that often present as a single, tiny lesion that is restricted to the mid-to-deep dermis or involves the subcutis. ESs can be clinically and pathologically misdiagnosed because of their rarity and physical resemblance to other cutaneous cancers.

Case presentation

A 47-year-old nonsmoking woman was admitted after being transferred from a nearby hospital to check her right foot pain that had been present for three months and was significantly numbing the same side. Only a few lone cases or brief series are reported in the current literature. The typical description of ESs is that they are tiny masses with positive clinical behavior.

Discussion

Despite being a rather common location, only infrequent and minor ESs of the foot are present. After the recommended operation and subsequent histology analysis, we identified this uncommon sort of tumors.

Conclusion

Although it's rare, it's very important to consider this tumor in the differential diagnosis of foot pain with/without visible and/or palpable cutaneous lesion.
