Article Synopsis
  • Ewing's extraosseous sarcoma of the genitourinary system is a rare and aggressive cancer, highlighted by a case of a 58-year-old man with a primitive neuroectodermal tumor invading the bladder, whose symptoms included severe pain, dysuria, and significant weight loss.
  • The patient underwent several major surgeries, including cystoprostatectomy and nephroureterectomy, but developed neurological symptoms indicating brain metastases post-operation.
  • This case emphasizes the need for heightened awareness and advanced diagnostic techniques in rare cancers, recommending a multidisciplinary treatment approach for better outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • - Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a rare type of cancer that often mimics intestinal issues, primarily causing symptoms like intestinal obstruction, abdominal pain, and GI bleeding, leading to misdiagnosis.
  • - A 29-year-old male presented with intestinal obstruction and was initially diagnosed as having an intestinal mesenchymal tumor, but post-surgery, he was confirmed to have Ewing sarcoma through pathology and genetic testing.
  • - The patient underwent surgery to remove a large 15-cm tumor from his abdomen, which infiltrated nearby organs, and was subsequently treated with chemotherapy, illustrating the importance of accurate diagnosis and timely intervention for rare cancers.

The uptake of Tc-99m-uptake of Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) on bone scintigraphy can be seen at sites other than bone in a varying number of benign and malignant conditions. Extraosseous metastatic calcifications can occur in ovarian papillary serous adenocarcinoma (PSAC). These extraosseous calcifications show Tc-99m-MDP uptake.
