Abstract:
Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) is a highly aggressive tumor of neuroectodermal origin, rarely occurring in the sinonasal tract, particularly in adults. We report a 27-year-old male with long-standing nasal obstruction, initially misdiagnosed as nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma. Surgical excision revealed a destructive, vascular sinonasal mass. Histology showed sheets of small round cells within a sclerotic stroma, and immunohistochemistry positivity for CD99, vimentin, cyclin D1, BCL2, and NKX2.2 confirmed EWS. This case underscores the diagnostic difficulty of sinonasal small round cell tumors and the necessity of thorough histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
