Background: Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma (ES) tumors presenting in the genitourinary tract are highly uncommon. Few cases of primary vulvar and vaginal cases of ES have been published.
Case: A 15-year-old adolescent presented with a bothersome 5-cm mass located on her left labium minorum. Following excision, a diagnosis of a primary ES was made. The patient was treated with multiagent chemotherapy and was doing well 20 months after treatment completion.
Summary And Conclusion: Based on the few available case reports and our reported case, it appears that extraosseous ES arising in superficial sites such as the vulva have better prognosis and should be treated with complete excision and multiagent chemotherapy.

Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a rare and aggressive malignancy originating in soft tissues, distinct from osseous Ewing sarcoma. It commonly affects adolescents and young adults but can occur at any age. Due to its rarity and overlapping clinical features with other malignancies, EES poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Introduction: Ewing sarcoma is a rare paediatric cancer. Currently, there is no way of accurately predicting these patients' survival at diagnosis. Disease type (ie, localised disease, lung/pleuropulmonary metastases and other metastases) is used to guide treatment decisions, with metastatic patients generally having worse outcomes than localised disease patients.
