Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma of the sciatic nerve

Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a rare tumor diagnosed in children or young adults and is even more unusual in individuals over 30 years of age. Due to its rare occurrence and low index of suspicion, this tumor can pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We present a case of a 60-year-old male with EES of the sciatic nerve, an unexpected entity given the patient's age, tumor type, and tumor location. This can mimic a nerve sheath tumor on imaging.
