A case report : Ewing sarcoma originating in the upper jaw

Abstract

Ewing sarcoma is a relatively rare tumor that commonly occurs during childhood. The most common areas in which the disease occurs are the femur, ribs, and pelvis, and it rarely occurs in the head and neck areas. We experienced a case of Ewing sarcoma originating in the left upper jaw in a 34-year-old male. The patient received chemotherapy (VDC [ACT]-IE therapy), surgery, and radiation therapy. About two years have passed since the disease occurred, but the patient remains in remission without any signs of either local recurrence or distant metastasis.
