Primary Ewing sarcoma of the kidney (ESK) is a rare and aggressive entity, with a poor prognosis. It often presents as metastatic disease with the lungs being the most common site. In adults, the occurrence of these tumors is uncommon, with patients exhibiting non-specific symptoms such as weight loss, flank pain, hematuria, and an abdominal mass. The combination of these vague clinical symptoms and the rarity of these tumors often results in a delayed diagnosis, leading to poorer outcomes for these patients. We present a case of a 38-year-old female with metastatic ESK. The patient initially presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and a four-day history of constipation. The diagnosis was confirmed through computed tomography scans, ultrasound-guided biopsy of the lesion, and fluorescence in situ hybridization that revealed translocation of the gene on chromosome 22q12. She was managed with chemotherapy regimens and palliative care; however, the disease progressed and she passed away six months after her initial diagnosis.

Ewing sarcoma family tumors (ESFT) pose diagnostic challenges, which largely depend on the primary site of involvement and tumor stage. Despite advancements in treatment, metastatic ESFTs remain associated with poor outcomes. This case describes a 21-year-old woman who, in July 2022, presented with a left breast mass identified through ultrasound and CT scan, along with abdominal distention.

Introduction: Children and young adults diagnosed with sarcoma often present with pulmonary metastases requiring wedge resection. It is important to balance the risk of pulmonary recurrence against the desire to limit resection of benign parenchyma. This study aims to determine the impact of resection margins on survival and recurrence among pediatric and young adult sarcoma patients.

Case: We outline the management of a 10-month-old girl with an Ewing sarcoma involving the entire radius. The patient was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy resulting in almost a complete response. A limb-sparing procedure was performed consisting of a radical resection of the entire radius and centralization of the carpus to the ulna.

Background: Ewing sarcoma is an EWSR1-rearranged aggressive malignancy that occurs commonly in bone and has small round blue cell morphology. A diagnostic challenge is presented in the cases of extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma involving solid organs, such as the uterus.
Case Report And Brief Literature Review: We present the case of a 54-year-old female with a large pelvic mass connected to the uterine cornua and retroperitoneal soft tissue.

sarcoma is rare and its clinical features remain unclear. Given the similarity in presentation, it is possible that previously reported cases of Ewing-like adamantinoma may have been sarcoma. The present case report describes a tumor in a 55-year-old man that was originally thought to be a Ewing-like adamantinoma, but was recently found to be an sarcoma following direct sequencing.
