Key result
A 26-year-old female with a rare retroperitoneal Ewing sarcoma adherent to the left adrenal gland was managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical resection.
Why the study?
Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma involving the retroperitoneal region is rarely reported, and reporting such cases aims to aid in diagnosis and management.
Case Report (n=1)
Ewing sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis for young patients presenting with a retroperitoneal mass.
Supports considering Ewing sarcoma in differentials for young patients with retroperitoneal masses; leaves open optimal management strategies.
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Ewing's sarcoma is a rare entity of malignant in both skeletal and extra-skeletal sites. There are few patients reported as Extra-Skeletal Sarcoma, and fewer reported cases for Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma involving the retroperitoneal region. Reporting such a rare entity will add to literature in helping the diagnosis and management of such cases. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of 26 year old previously healthy female complaining of a vague abdominal pain and discovered to have retroperitoneal Ewing sarcoma adherent to left adrenal gland. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: She was managed with a combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and resection through exploratory laparotomy. CONCLUSION: In short, Ewing sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis for young patient who is presenting with a retroperitoneal mass.

AlRashed et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Retroperitoneal Ewing sarcoma (n=1). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical resection was evaluated. A 26-year-old female with a rare retroperitoneal Ewing sarcoma adherent to the left adrenal gland was managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical resection.
