Primary Cutaneous Ewing Sarcoma: Report of a Case

Abstract

Primary cutaneous Ewing's sarcoma is a rare entity. Although the diagnosis may be very difficult, it can be confirmed through molecular biology. We present the case of a 13-years old male with a lesion in the sole of the right foot, characterized by a monomorphous proliferation of small, round and blue cells. The histology and molecular biology allowed us to perform the diagnosis of cutaneous Ewing's sarcoma. This neoplasm must be distinguished from other round cell tumors with cutaneous involvement. The prognosis and treatment of this rare disease will also be discussed.
