Ewing sarcoma (ES), described as a diffuse endothelioma of the bone, is divided into two categories: osseous and extraosseous, which mainly affects adolescents. Extraosseous Ewing Sarcomas (EES) are rare tumors originating from soft tissues. Their clinical presentation depends mainly on the primary location of the tumor and are highly chemosensitive and radiosensitive. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 3 children with EES and uncommon presentation treated in our Unit. The diagnosis of EES was confirmed by biopsy and cytogenetic analysis with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Surgical excision was planned as primary treatment, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy according to EURO-E.W.I.N.G protocol. To date, all patients are alive, 1, 3 and 4 years after completion of treatment, with no signs of recurrence or metastasis.

Background: The diagnosis of intracranial extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma (EES) poses challenges due to the absence of specific clinical and imaging features prior to surgery. It is crucial to differentiate the tumor from other small round cell malignancies postoperatively.
Observations: A 7-year-old patient was admitted to the authors' hospital due to the in situ recurrence of a posterior fossa tumor more than 1 month after the initial surgery for headache.

The case report discusses xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis, a rare inflammatory bone condition that can resemble malignancy on imaging studies. The report details a case of a 42-year-old woman with left leg pain, swelling, and redness lasting 4 months. Imaging revealed a lytic lesion in the left tibia with endosteal erosion, and MRI showed extraosseous soft tissue extension.

Ewing sarcomas are rare tumors arising mainly in the bones and the surrounding soft tissues. Primary extraosseous Ewing sarcomas have also been described in several other organs and locations other than bones, including the pancreas. These tumors have well-defined histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular characteristics.

Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma (EES) is a rare form of Ewing's sarcoma that arises outside the bones in soft-tissue structures. It is thought to result from a genetic abnormality involving the fusion of the EWSR1 gene with various partner genes, most commonly the FLI-1 gene. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, and sometimes a palpable mass at the site of the tumor.
