Abstract
Ewing’s
sarcoma (ES) is a highly lethal round cell sarcoma, thought to be of neuroectodermal
origin, first described by James Ewing in 1921. ES occurs most often in younger
patients, with 90% between the ages of 5 and 30 years, and affects males in
more than 60% of cases. Nearly 50% of all reported cases of ES occur in the
femur and pelvic bones. Of the fewer than 3% of all cases that occur in the
jaws, the majority involve the mandibular ramus, with a few cases reported in
the maxilla. Rapid growth and propensity for metastasis are dominant features
of this malignant bone tumor. Thus, the possibility exists that jaw involvement
may represent metastasis from another skeletal site. When ES involves the jaws,
there may be facial deformity, destruction of alveolar bone, loosening of the
teeth, mucosal ulceration, or soft tissue penetration. Pain, swelling, and
sensory disturbances may be associated findings. Fever, leukocytosis, and an
elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate may also be present and lead to an
erroneous diagnosis of osteomyelitis. We report a rare case of ES, occurring in
the mandibular symphesis of a 22-month-old boy, to add to the body of
literature on the subject.
