Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is an aggressive pediatric malignancy. We present a case of ES with thyroid metastasis. The patient was diagnosed with ES at age 8. Despite aggressive treatment, she suffered disease progression. Surveillance demonstrated a left thyroid lesion. This grew rapidly within 2 months, causing tracheal compression. She underwent hemi-thyroidectomy to prevent airway compromise. Due to her refractory ES, she was enrolled in the Vigil immunotherapy vaccine trial; thus, the specimen was used for vaccine development. This is the first reported case of skeletal ES with metastasis to the thyroid, requiring hemithyroidectomy to prevent airway compromise.
尤因肉瘤(ES)是一种侵袭性儿童恶性肿瘤。我们报告一例伴有甲状腺转移的ES病例。该患者8岁时被诊断为ES。尽管接受了积极治疗,但疾病仍进展。监测发现左甲状腺有病变。该病变在2个月内迅速增大,导致气管受压。她接受了甲状腺半切除术以防止气道受压。由于她的ES难以治疗,她参加了Vigil免疫治疗疫苗试验;因此,该标本被用于疫苗研发。这是首例报告的骨骼ES转移至甲状腺且需要行甲状腺半切除术以防止气道受压的病例。
