Abstract
- Primary Ewing sarcoma (ES) arising in the head and neck region is extremely rare, comprising only 1-4% of all cases of ES. ES is much more common in children and white populations, and has a slightly male predominance. About a quarter of patients have detectable metastases at diagnosis. The lung is the most common site for metastases (50%), followed by bone (25%) and bone marrow (20%). We report a case of 27-year-old woman who presented with cervical Ewing sarcoma with lung metastasis and was treated with surgery and chemotherapy.
