Key result
A rare case of extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma of the larynx in a 17-year-old male was successfully treated with surgical resection and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, with no recurrence at 2 years.
Why the study?
Ewing sarcoma is rare in the head and neck area, highlighting the need to recognize that it can originate there and require appropriate techniques for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Ewing sarcoma can rarely originate in the head and neck area, requiring appropriate techniques for accurate diagnosis.
Case supports multimodal therapy for rare laryngeal Ewing sarcoma; leaves open optimal protocols pending larger studies.
Ewing sarcoma is a rare tumor in head and neck area. We demonstrate a rare case of sinonasal Ewing sarcoma initially suspected as olfactory neuroblastoma. After the surgery and immunohistochemical studies, it was accurately diagnosed as Ewing sarcoma. We would like to emphasize the possibility that Ewing sarcoma may originate from the head and neck area, and hence, it is important to use appropriate techniques for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Kim et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma of the larynx (n=1). Surgical resection followed by chemoradiotherapy was evaluated on Disease recurrence. A rare case of extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma of the larynx in a 17-year-old male was successfully treated with surgical resection and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, with no recurrence at 2 years.
