Key result
CT and MRI detail the imaging features of a rare renal Ewing sarcoma.
Why the study?
Renal Ewing sarcoma is extremely rare in adults and its CT and MRI imaging features have not been previously described in the literature.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report provides the first description of CT and MRI features of renal Ewing sarcoma in an adult patient.

Rare adult renal ES cases warrant diagnostic vigilance; leaves open evidence-based management pending additional reports.
Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a rare malignant tumor that primarily involves long and flat bones but can develop in almost any bone or soft tissue. ES accounts for 2.3-3.5% of tumors in patients under the age of 19, and is rarely found in the adult population. Sarcomas, in general, account for less than 1% of tumors in adults. Several reports of renal ES have been described in the pediatric population, but only a few cases have been described in the adult population. To the best of our knowledge, fewer than 10 cases of renal Ewing sarcoma in adults have been described in the English literature. None of these cases described the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. We report a case of a 46-year-old woman, including CT and MRI characteristics.

Ekram et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Renal Ewing sarcoma (n=1). Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features of a rare case of renal Ewing sarcoma in a 46-year-old woman were reported.
