چکیده

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Introduction Ewing sarcoma is a bone tumor that has a predilection for long bones in teenagers. It accounts to approximately 6–10 % of all primary bone tumors in children; however, it seldom occurs outside of the bone, and very rarely in the epidural space [1]. Ewing sarcoma is composed of uncharacterized mesenchymal cells. The most common sites are the chest wall, paravertebral muscles, extremities, and retroperitoneal space; extra skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma (extraosseous form) was first described by Tefft et al in 1969 and the involvement of the epidural space remains rare [2]. Only very few cases have been reported in literature (Table 1). An additional case of epidural Ewing’s sarcoma is reported, and the literature is being reviewed. Volume 4 Issue 3 2017
