Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Primary pleural Ewing sarcoma is a rare type of Ewing sarcoma with only a few case reports identified in the literature. The condition is challenging to diagnose with deceiving symptoms and wide differential diagnosis. Diagnosis is confirmed with a combination of radiological and pathological assessment. Treatment is similar to other types of Ewing sarcoma with chemotherapy and surgery being the mainstay of treatment. We identify an unusual presentation of pleural Ewing sarcoma in a 31-year-old male with a mass extending into the right ventricular outlet causing rapid deterioration of the patient.
