We present two paediatric patients, who were initially diagnosed with a vascular malformation based on clinical assessment and imaging. Final histopathology revealed Ewing sarcoma of soft tissue origin, confirmed by immunohistochemical analysis.

Introduction: Vascularized free fibula flap is one of the commonly used flaps in autologous soft-tissue and osseous reconstructions in the modern era. While there is abundant literature available on the variable branching pattern and course of the popliteal artery, tibial arteries, and dorsalis pedis artery, there is a paucity of text available on the not-so-common peroneal vessels.
Case Report: A case of a 60-year-old male who was diagnosed with carcinoma of buccal mucosa with involvement of the mandible of the right side was planned for wide local excision with modified radical neck dissection and resurfacing of the resultant defect using a contralateral free fibula osseocutaneous free flap.
Primary retroperitoneal teratoma is a tumor originating from each of the three germ cell layers and generally presenting as a large mass in the gonadal and sacrococcygeal region. It is very rarely seen in adults with scarcely any cases reported in literature (Gatcombe et al. J Surg Oncol 86(2):107-113, 2004).
