Early awareness, wide resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy may improve long-term survival in rare cases of scalp extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma.
Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumour (EES/PNET) is a rare disease entity. Scalp EES/PNET has been reported rarely. We report a case of an 11-year-old boy who had painful and rapidly growing subcutaneous nodes over the scalp and neck. The final diagnosis was EES/PNET after biopsy and immunohistochemical assay. The patient underwent surgical excision, chemotherapy and radiotherapy with a dose of 2000 cGy. Now he has been free of disease for two years. Early awareness and treatment of this rare disease, and wide resection followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy might improve patients' long-term survival.
Chao et al. (Sat,) conducted a case report in Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumour (EES/PNET) of the scalp (n=1). Surgical excision, chemotherapy and radiotherapy was evaluated on Disease-free survival. Surgical excision, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy (2000 cGy) resulted in the patient being disease-free for two years in a rare case of scalp extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma.
