Abstract

Rare case of Ewing's Sarcoma of maxilla managed with newly proposed multimodalityapproach in which First neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was done to shrink the size oftumor mass and control possible occult distant metastasis and in the second phase surgical management that is followed by adjuvant chemotherapy was done. During Surgical phase, instead of doing a complete surgical resection, we have decided intraoperatively and performed only curettage of the tumor mass left after shrinkage of the tumor mass post chemotherapy phase. This concludes that there is the scope of trying newer ideas for management and, thus, more contemporary approaches for this rare entity. Like in our case, curettage of the tumor rather than radical resection as a part of multimodality approach also gave optimal outcome.
