Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Ewing’s sarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumour of childhood and adolescents after osteosarcoma. Ewing’s sarcoma is a highly malignant small round cell tumour that arises from embryologic neural crest cells. Most frequently the sites involved are femur and tibia in lower extremity and in upper limb humerus is involved commonly. In upper limb involvement of scapula is rare. We hereby report a case of 12 year old girl with ewing sarcoma of the scapula. The treatment involves surgery (previously amputation was preferred surgery but now a day’s limb sparing surgery is preferred), followed by chemotherapy to kill the malignant cells and to take care of micrometastasis. Ewing sarcoma is the second most common highly malignant primary bone tumour of childhood and adolescents after osteosarcoma, that arise from medullary cavity and invade the Haversian system of bone.
