Primary Ewing srcoma of vulva, confirmed with molecular cytogenetic analysis: A rare case report with diagnostic and treatment implications. Indian Journal of Pathology & Microbiology. 2015 Jul-Sept 58(3): 341-344.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/170459Primary vulvar Ewing sarcoma (ES)/PNET is an uncommonly documented tumor, especially with molecular results. A 10-year-old girl presented with left vulvar swelling, a year ago. Her abdominopelvic ultrasound revealed a 12 cm × 8 cm sized, mixed echogenic blood-fi lled lesion in the left vulva; radiologically considered as a hematoma. Vulvectomy revealed a multinodular grey-brown tumor, microscopically comprising malignant round cells. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells diffusely expressed MIC2/ CD99 and Fli1 and subsequently displayed EWSR1 rearrangement, confi rming diagnosis of ES/PNET. Subsequently, PET-CT scan revealed residual local lesion with lung metastases. The patient was induced on EFT 2001 chemotherapy protocol. Three months after chemotherapy completion, there was no metabolically active disease on PET scan. Four months later, MRI disclosed recurrent primary and metastatic pulmonary lesions. She was planned for scar excision and adjuvant radiotherapy, but unfortunately defaulted further treatment. This forms the eighth case of primary vulvar ES/PNET confi rmed with molecular cytogenetic result, underscoring therapeutic value of objective diagnosis in such cases.enEwing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumorEWSR1 rearrangementfemale genital tract sarcomasvulvar tumorsArticle
