ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a small, blue, malignant, round cell tumor of unknown origin. ES is the fourth most common malignant bone tumor, whereas among children, it is found to be the second most common primary malignant bone tumor after osteosarcoma. Swelling is usually the first clinical presentation, followed by pain. ES is an aggressive tumor showing rapid growth and metastasis with complex diagnosis. Because mandibular involvement is rare, it can be misdiagnosed as an odontogenic infection/tumor. We report an unusual case of ES in a 13-year-old female treated for an odontogenic infection before a diagnosis of ES was finally made to make the clinicians aware of this rare entity. Emphasis is also given that ES and odontogenic infections/tumors can masquerade each other with delays in diagnosis and the possibility of devastating results.
