- Ewing's sarcoma is a serious bone cancer that primarily affects children ages 10 to 20 and can have atypical presentations that complicate diagnosis.
- A specific case is described where a patient had Ewing's sarcoma in the iliac bone, presenting with right lower quadrant pain and vague radiological signs.
- The authors suggest using early magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography for prompt diagnosis when there's even a slight suspicion of Ewing's sarcoma.
Article Abstract
Ewing's sarcoma is a highly malignant tumor of bone and is more common in children in the age group of 10 to 20 years. Sometimes the classic clinical and radiological presentation of Ewing's sarcoma may not be the norm and patient may have an atypical presentation leading to diagnostic confusion. This situation is especially true for Ewing's sarcoma involving iliac bone. We report a case of Ewing's sarcoma involving the right ilium in a patient presenting with right lower quadrant pain and nonspecific radiological changes. To the best of our knowledge, this scenario has not been reported in literature. We recommend early magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography to diagnose the disease early when there is slightest suspicion of the disease.
