Key result
Vaginal Ewing sarcoma is a rare, aggressive pediatric tumor that can present as a large pelvic mass and requires prompt diagnosis and intensive multimodality treatment.
Case Report (n=2)
Awareness of the multimodality imaging appearances of vaginal Ewing sarcoma can facilitate prompt diagnosis and appropriate surgical planning.
Hypothesis-generating for vaginal Ewing sarcoma imaging features; larger series needed before changing pediatric pelvic mass evaluation.
Ewing sarcoma, including classical Ewing sarcoma of the bone and primitive neuroectodermal tumors arising in bone or extraosseous primary sites, is a highly aggressive childhood neoplasm. We present two cases of Ewing sarcoma arising from the vagina in young girls. Previously reported cases in literature focused on their pathologic rather than radiographic features. We describe the spectrum of multimodality imaging appearances of Ewing sarcoma at this unusual primary site. Awareness of vaginal Ewing tumors may facilitate prompt diagnosis and lead to a different surgical approach than the more commonly encountered vaginal rhabdomyosarcoma.

Cross et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Vaginal Ewing Sarcoma (n=2). Multimodality treatment (chemotherapy and surgery) was evaluated. Vaginal Ewing sarcoma is a rare, aggressive pediatric tumor that can present as a large pelvic mass and requires prompt diagnosis and intensive multimodality treatment.
