Published: August 2024

Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/PNET) is a type of malignancy that usually appears as a tumor in the bone. However, in a few patients with ES/PNET, it can occur outside of the bone. Although extraosseous ES/PNET can appear in various parts of the body, involvement of small bowel is rare. If it does, it can present with vague abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding. This case report presents a 28-year-old gentleman with extraosseous ES/PNET in the duodenum who experienced gastrointestinal bleeding as a presenting symptom.

Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and New York- Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, 630 West 168Th Street, New York, NY, PH17-105H10032, USA.

Purpose: To propose a gastrointestinal bleeding management algorithm that incorporates an endoscopic and imaging scoring system and specifies management of vascular complication from button battery ingestion.

Recent Findings: Button batteries (BB) are found in many electronic devices and ingestions are associated with serious complications especially in cases of unwitnessed ingestions, prolonged impaction, and in children less than 5 years of age. Gastrointestinal bleeding from BB related vascular injury is rare but often rapidly fatal, with a mortality rate as high as 81%.
