- Abstract
Ewing sarcoma (ES) represents the second most common primary osseous malignancy in children and young adults, most often occurring in the diaphysis of the long bones. While rare, ES can present as an osseous tumor of the ribs and/or chest wall. These tumors are known as Askin's tumors and most commonly present with symptoms resembling pneumonia. We report the case of a 26-year-old man who was found to have a right lung mass extending into his anterolateral chest wall after presenting to the hospital for evaluation of unremitting chest pain. Biopsy was performed and the patient diagnosed with ES. After completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the patient underwent resection of the right chest wall mass. The chest wall was reconstructed in a novel fashion with titanium plates and a reinforced tissue matrix patch. Due to a paucity of cases, no treatment or reconstruction algorithm currently exists for management of these malignancies.
