Summary

A rare vulvar Ewing's sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES-PNET) occurred in a 14-year-old girl. Despite treatment, the adolescent patient died from metastasis, highlighting the aggressive nature of this rare vulvar cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ewing's sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES-PNET) is a high-grade malignant neoplasm typically affecting the skeletal system.
  • Primary extraskeletal ES-PNET is rare, with infrequent occurrences in the female genital tract, including the vulva.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old adolescent presented with a four-month history of a left vulvar mass.
  • Surgical excision and re-excision were performed, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Findings:

  • The case involved a rare vulvar ES-PNET with distinct rosette-like structures.
  • The adolescent patient experienced a very poor prognosis, succumbing to pulmonary metastasis within nine months.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the extreme rarity of vulvar ES-PNET and its aggressive behavior in adolescents.
