Cutaneous Ewing Sarcoma Presenting as a Second Primary Malignancy in a Child

Ewing sarcoma is an EWS-ETS family member-driven malignancy that most commonly arises from bone. Cutaneous Ewing sarcoma is a rare variant which harbors an EWS-ETS family fusion but demonstrates an immunohistochemical staining pattern distinct from classic Ewing tumors. EWSR1 fluorescence in situ hybridization testing interpretation can be challenging in the setting of cutaneous Ewing sarcoma, making an integrated histologic and sequencing approach key for an accurate diagnosis. Here, we report a pediatric patient with a history of neuroblastoma treated with surgery only that developed a cutaneous nodule and was diagnosed with cutaneous Ewing sarcoma as a second primary cancer.
