Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a rare tumor diagnosed in children or young adults and is even more unusual in individuals over 30 years of age. Due to its rare occurrence and low index of suspicion, this tumor can pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We present a case of a 60-year-old male with EES of the sciatic nerve, an unexpected entity given the patient's age, tumor type, and tumor location. This can mimic a nerve sheath tumor on imaging.

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma and other soft tissue sarcomas (STS) with high-risk features are still associated with an unsatisfactory outcome. We evaluated the efficacy of oral maintenance therapy added at the end of standard therapy in patients with high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma and STS.
Methods: CWS-2007-HR was a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled, phase 3 trial done at 87 centers in 5 countries.

Ewing sarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm that primarily affects bone in children. Extraskeletal location is less common, while intradural extramedullary Ewing sarcoma (IEES) in adults is a casuistic phenomenon. Due to its rarity, a standardized treatment strategy for IEES has not been established.

Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma is a malignant tumour most often found in children and adolescents, but rarely in the cervicofacial region. When it affects the parapharyngeal space, diagnosis is often delayed, resulting in poor prognosis. We here report the clinical case of a 37-year-old female patient admitted to the emergency department with inspiratory dyspnea, asthenia and anorexia.

Article Synopsis
- - Extra-skeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a rare but aggressive tumor that affects soft tissue and is part of the primitive neuroectodermal tumors family, with only about 30 documented cases.
- - A 20-year-old female patient experienced symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain, leading to the discovery of a soft tissue mass that was eventually diagnosed as Ewing sarcoma through biopsy.
- - Early detection and a multidisciplinary treatment approach, including surgical resection and chemotherapy, are crucial for improving patient outcomes, as EES often presents with non-specific symptoms and has a poor prognosis.
