Abstract :
Introduction Ewing sarcoma of bone represents the second most
common primary malignant tumor of the bone in children and adolescents.
The most common primary bony sites include the long bones, pelvis, chest
wall, and spine. However, it is responsible for only 3% to 5% of cases
in bones of the hands and feet. Case Presentation The case was a
13-year-old girl, who attended our clinic with a complaint of 8 months
of left ankle swelling and pain. Eight months earlier, she recalled an
ankle torsion for which treatment was performed with long leg splint.
Her pain was better, but, her swelling remained. The X ray showed a
sclerotic lesion in the calcaneus with soft-tissue mass. Next, she
underwent open biopsy, and was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma. She
underwent chemoradiotherapy and obtained below knee amputation. She was
followed up at our clinic. Conclusions There are a few articles about
early diagnotic effects of Ewingʹs sarcoma prognosis. Therefore,
this study aimed at presenting an anatomical-rare case of Ewing’s
sarcoma as preliminary diagnosis could help the patient and lead to
better outcomes.
