Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Ewing sarcoma is a rare and aggressive cancer often affecting children and young adults.
  • Hemithorax involvement presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • An 8-year-old girl presented with symptoms initially misdiagnosed as pleuropneumonia.
  • Radiological examinations, including chest X-ray and CT scan, revealed expansive changes in the left hemithorax.
  • A large, tumorous mass was discovered filling the pleural cavity and infiltrating the thoracic wall.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma of the hemithorax was confirmed through histopathological analysis.
  • Surgical tumor extirpation (in toto), pleuroctomy, partial rib resection, and decortication were performed.
