Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pediatric Oncology

Background:

  • Ewing sarcoma (EWS) is a rare bone cancer, primarily affecting children and adolescents.
  • Calvarial EWS is uncommon, with most reported cases involving intracranial extension.
  • Extracranial extension of calvarial EWS is exceptionally rare in medical literature.

Observation:

  • A 23-year-old male presented with widespread EWS, including significant calvarial involvement.
  • The giant cranial metastasis measured approximately 7.5 × 7.5 × 9.5 cm.
  • The large calvarial tumor was completely surgically removed.

Findings:

  • Histopathological diagnosis confirmed Ewing sarcoma.
  • Post-operative follow-up at 12 months showed no recurrence at the surgical site.

  • Complete excision of the giant cranial EWS was achieved.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of successful surgical management for extensive cranial EWS.
    • Total resection of giant cranial EWS may lead to improved patient outcomes and reduced morbidity.
    • Further research into surgical techniques and long-term outcomes for cranial EWS is warranted.
