J Dent (Shiraz). 2020 Mar;21(1):73-76. doi: 10.30476/DENTJODS.2019.44908.

Abstract

Ewing's sarcoma is an uncommon malignancy primarily affecting bone tissue and usually occurs in adolescents and young adults. This paper reports a rare case of extra-skeletal Ewing's sarcoma of the oral cavity soft tissue. In the clinical examination, a mass of 1.5×1.5cm in diameter was observed in the right mandibular vestibule. Radiographic examination revealed no involvement of mandible. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of malignant small round cell tumor that exhibited immunoreactivity for CD99. Enucleation surgery under local anesthesia was performed for the patient and prognosis was excellent. The patient remained symptom-free after 13 months of follow-up.
