Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span lang="EN-IN" style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Ewing&rsquo;s sarcoma is a small round blue cell tumour characterized by the pathognomonic recurrent balanced translocation involving the chromosome 22 and 11. Ewing&rsquo;s sarcoma is the second most frequent bone sarcoma in children and young adults and has a slight male predominance; 80% of patients are younger than 20 years of age</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> and only a few cases of ES are diagnosed in adults. Fine needle aspiration has a definitive role in the early diagnosis &amp; hence better prognosis of this disease. Histopathogically, undifferentiated monotonous small round cells with uniform nuclei and fine chromatin are seen. The cytoplasm is scanty and contains glycogen, which can be demonstrated using periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). We report here a case in adult, which was diagnosed as Ewing&rsquo;s sarcoma in Fine needle aspiration (FNA) &amp; confirmed by histopathology.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif"><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
