Primary Ewing's sarcoma of lumbar vertebra-A rare case report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Ewing's sarcoma is a rare bone tumor, first described by James Ewing in 1921. It is more common in bone than soft tissues. Involvement of vertebral bodies is extremely unusual. We report a case of a five year old girl with presenting symptoms of pain, difficulty in walking since one month, paraparesis and bladder and bowel incontinence since one week. Plain radiographs revealed sclerotic fourth lumbar vertebra. CT and MRI lumbosacral spine revealed involvement of fourth lumbar vertebra with bilateral paraspinal masses. Immunohistochemistry and Fluorescent in situ hybridization of biopsy from paraspinal mass revealed round cell tumor - Ewing's sarcoma.
