Abstract:
Background: Extraskeletal Ewing's Sarcoma (EES) may harbor more than one tumor-specific genetic abnormality, leading to diagnostic difficulties. Case report: We report a nine-year-old boy with recurrent mass of his right thigh. Tumor cells were round, with scant cytoplasm, finely dispersed chromatin, and inapparent, small nucleoli. The initial misdiagnosis was T-lymphoblastic lymphoma due to CD7 and TCR/Ig monoclonal rearrangement. As it expressed NKX2.2 and harbored an EWSR1-FLI1 fusion transcript, the diagnosis was changed to EES. The child underwent EES therapy with good initial response, but had a subcutaneous relapse at 22 months. Conclusion: In addition to typical genetic alterations, Ewing sarcoma can also express CD7 and TCR/Ig rearrangement, which are not limited to lymphoma.
