Saudi Med J. 2014 Jul;35(7):739-42.

Abstract

Primary cranial Ewing`s sarcoma is extremely rare. We present a case of primary Ewing's sarcoma of the skull in a neonate that involved the anterior fontanelle and was very aggressive in nature. Even with radical surgery, the patient had early recurrence within 2 months of surgery and ultimately died. Detailed radiological and pathological findings are described.
