Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) is a rare malignant tumor that primarily affects the skeleton system in children and young adults. The most common symptoms are pain and swelling in the affected area. History of trauma is often reported. Clinical, radiographic, histologic and immunohistochemical investigations are necessary for the diagnosis of this disease. Early diagnosis is very important for the better prognosis of the patient. This case reports a rapidly expanding mass on the right side of the face of a 9 year old Indian boy following an injury; which was diagnosed as ES of the maxilla.
Prompt and early diagnosis is essential for a good prognosis as this lesion shows aggressive behavior with nonspecific clinical findings.
