Abstract
Ewing's sarcoma of the skull is a rare and aggressive primary bone tumor occurs in young-aged patients. The current main therapeutic strategy is surgical tumor removal followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. We, hereby, present a pediatric case of Ewing's sarcoma arising from right temporal bone. Pre-operative embolization of the hypervascular tumor followed by immediate surgical resection of the lesion was performed. The surgery resulted in a near-total tumor removal and a small residual tumor at the adjacent meninge. Early recurrence of the small residual tumor developed shortly after the surgery. This short time interval indicated the importance and challenge of complete resection for a malignant tumor of skull.
