Ewing sarcoma is one of the most common primary bone tumors arising from neuroectodermal cells mainly presenting in the younger population. Instances of this highly malignant tumor manifesting outside of the bone and outside of the typical age range create an unfamiliar clinical scenario. In this report, we present a rare extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma in a 42-year-old woman with a subcutaneous soft tissue mass in the posterior chest displaying a positive EWSR1 gene rearrangement via fluorescence in situ hybridization. The patient is currently on a chemotherapy regimen showing favorable response to the tumor size despite additional complications. This overall presentation of Ewing sarcoma allows further understanding of the malignancy and fosters better care for future cases.
