May support multimodal therapy in rare elderly sinonasal Ewing sarcoma; extends sparse literature but remains hypothesis-generating.
Nonosseous or soft tissue Ewing's sarcoma is a rare form of Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumour that seldom affects the head and neck region. Involvement of the nose and paranasal sinuses is extremely uncommon, with only eight of such patients being reported to date, mostly affecting adolescents and young adults. To our knowledge, this study is the first comprehensive report of primary soft tissue Ewing's sarcoma involving the paranasal sinuses in an elderly patient who successfully completed treatment. We herein discuss the pathogenesis, management and factors affecting the prognosis of this rare group of tumours involving the nose and paranasal sinuses, in relation to the available literature.

Dutta et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Primary soft tissue Ewing's sarcoma of the maxillary sinus (n=1). Total maxillectomy and adjuvant chemoradiation was evaluated on Disease recurrence or metastasis. A 67-year-old man with primary soft tissue Ewing's sarcoma of the maxillary sinus was successfully treated with total maxillectomy and adjuvant chemoradiation, remaining disease-free at 2 years.
