Ewing sarcoma of the cervix: an unusual site of presentation

Ewing sarcoma is an exceedingly rare form of cancer that affects the cervix. It falls within the spectrum of neoplastic diseases known as Ewing's family of tumours, typically observed in osseous tissues. A woman in her 40s, experiencing symptoms of leucorrhoea and transvaginal bleeding that commenced 3 months before her consultation, was referred to our gynaecological oncology clinic with a preliminary diagnosis of ovarian teratoma. A colposcopy procedure was conducted unveiling a complete loss of cervical anatomy with friable and malodorous tissue. Pelvic ultrasound identified a lesion of uncertain origin in the cervix, suggestive of malignancy. Histopathological assessment of cervical biopsy specimens confirmed the presence of a small, round, blue cell neoplasm consistent with Ewing sarcoma. She underwent chemotherapy and pelvic radiotherapy, achieving complete remission 9 months after diagnosis, without experiencing any systemic adverse effects or sequelae.
