Key result
MRI and BSGI provide complementary diagnostic value over ultrasound in recurrent extraskeletal breast Ewing's sarcoma.
Why the study?
Extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma of the breast is rare and can be misdiagnosed as a cyst on conventional imaging, requiring better diagnostic approaches.
Case Report (n=1)
MRI and BSGI may provide complementary diagnostic value over conventional ultrasound in identifying rare extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma of the breast.
Recurrent breast EES may mimic cysts on ultrasound; leaves open the complementary diagnostic value of MRI and BSGI.
Extraskeletal Ewing’ sarcoma (EES) is a rare soft tissue tumor morphologically indistinguishable from the osseous Ewing’s sarcoma (ES). We report a case of recurrent EES of the breast that, to the best of our knowledge, has rarely been reported. It was initially confused for a cyst on ultrasound. In addition, MRI and breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) in our case have complementary value over conventional imaging.

Kim et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma of the breast (n=1). MRI and breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) vs. Conventional imaging was evaluated on Diagnostic value. MRI and breast-specific gamma imaging provided complementary diagnostic value over conventional ultrasound in a rare case of recurrent extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma of the breast.
