Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma at rare sites with review of literature.
Keywords:
Extraskeletal Ewings Sarcoma, hard palate, lung, pleuraAbstract
Ewings sarcoma (ES) is mostly a tumour of children and young adults and is composed of densely distributed, uniform, small to medium sized, round cells with a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. Extraskeletal ES (EES) is a rare presentation and we present 3 cases of EES at uncommon sites involving hard palate, lung and pleura.
