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 symptomfree after 13 months of follow-up.
