Abstract
Ewing sarcoma is a rare malignant round cell tumor of
the bone. It is the second most common primary malignant
tumor of bone found in children. It commonly affects long
bones, pelvis and ribs. An 11 year old boy presented with
painful swelling at the medial end of left clavicle. X-ray
revealed a diaphyseal lesion of the medial end of the left
clavicle with destruction of bone and mottled appearance.
FNAC was done and reported as Malignant round cell tumor
suggestive of Ewing sarcoma. Histopathologically the
diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma was confirmed with special
stains. Ewing sarcoma affecting clavicle is uncommon.
Clavicle can be often resected with no need of reconstruction
in young children.
