The importance of immunohistochemistry and molecular studies for diagnosing ewing's sarcoma of the mandible: a case report.

Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a malignant small round cell neoplasm primarily affects the bone. It was first described by James Ewing in 1921. ES accounts for 6-10% of all primary malignant bone tumors. It is most commonly found in children between 10-15 years of age. 1% to 2% of cases of ES affect the craniofacial bones. Only a few cases have been reported in the mandible. Here we report a case of EW in the mandible and the use of immuno-histochemistry and molecular studies to confirm its diagnosis.
