Primary cutaneous Ewing sarcoma is a very rare entity with less than 100 cases reported in the literature, sharing the same morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics as their osseous counterparts. Herein, to the best of our knowledge, we report the first case in English literature of a molecularly confirmed Ewing sarcoma with diffuse and strong SOX10 immunoreactivity. This exceedingly rare immunohistochemical finding along with the rarity of this tumor could easily lead to a misdiagnosis with significant repercussions. Our case highlights the difficulty in diagnosing primary cutaneous Ewing sarcoma as well as the pivotal role molecular diagnostics can play in specific scenarios.

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.

The sacrum can harbor a diverse group of both benign and malignant tumors, including metastases. Primary tumors of the sacrum can arise from bone, cartilage, marrow, notochordal remnants, or surrounding nerves and vessels. Among a variety of primary tumors of the spine, chordoma, germ cell tumors and Ewing's sarcoma are recognized for their propensity to occur in the sacrum.
