Abstract
DE WILDE, Charlotte; BOLS, Alain; VAN DEN BERGHE, Ivo and COENEGRACHTS, Kenneth. Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma, a case report on a rare diagnosis in an 80-year-old woman with a large abdominal mass. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v21i1.1183.
Extraosseous or extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma is a very rare mesenchymal soft tissue malignancy. We report on a case of abdominal swelling in an 80-year-old woman caused by a large intra-abdominal EES. This case report illustrates that Ewing's sarcoma can occur in adults and elderly, and highlights the importance of early diagnosis because of poor prognosis.
