TI  - Ewing Sarcoma presenting as a gluteal mass in adult woman: Diagnostic approach 
      and its challenges.
PG  - 121-125
AB  - INTRODUCTION: Sarcomas of the Ewing family of tumours are aggressive neoplasms 
      occurring in bone and soft tissue of mostly children and young adults. It usually 
      affects male more than female with peak incidence 10 to 15 years of age, and 
      rarely encountered in adults especially in more than 40 years old. It is an 
      aggressive, rare tumour with a tendency toward recurrence after resection and 
      early metastasis. CASE REPORT: We reported a rare case of Ewing Sarcoma in a 
      62-year-old woman who had an unusual clinical presentation. She had right 
      painless buttock swelling only for a month. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 
      revealed soft tissue sarcoma originated from right gluteal muscle. The diagnosis 
      of Ewing sarcoma (ES) was made in a limited diagnostic material in an initial 
      tru-cut biopsy, followed by an excision supported by immunohistochemistry (IHC) 
      and Fluorescent In-Situ Hybridization (FISH). DISCUSSION: The purpose of this 
      study is to document ES in an adult woman and its diagnostic challenges in 
      histopathologic perspective.
