Abstract

Ewing’s Sarcoma (ES) is a malignant tumor, which arises primarily in children. Most commonly found in the long bones and pelvis, it rarely is found in the bones of the face. This is a report of ES of the mandible in a nine-year-old Caucasian female. Treatment for this malignancy included an inci-sional biopsy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy protocol to the involved area in accordance with St. Christopher’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The patient is currently disease-free and has been for approximately five years.
