Extraosseous Ewing's Sarcoma (EES) is a high grade rare malignancy from Ewing's family tumors (EFTs) occurring in soft tissues. Diagnosis of EES relies on a constellation of features, including round cell morphology, characteristic immunohistochemistry (such as CD99, FLI-1 and NKX2.2 positivity), and pathognomic molecular abnormalities of t(11;22)(q24;q12). Multimodality treatment has improved the prognosis and clinical outcome in EFTs. Due to its rarity, the current recommendation to treat EES is based on Skeletal Ewing's Sarcoma (SES) guidelines. However, achieving clear surgical margins in the Head and Neck region is often challenging due to complex anatomy and close proximity to critical structures, placing patients at risk of loco-regional recurrence in the absence of adjuvant therapy. The literature on head and neck EES is scarce, consisting of a few retrospective case series and case reports. Herein, we describe the characteristic clinico-pathological features and treatment of three EES patients with primaries from Parotid, Nasal cavity/ Nasopharynx and Oropharynx, with a comprehensive review of the literature. Keywords: Ewing's Family of tumors, Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma of head and neck.
骨外尤文肉瘤(EES)是一种罕见的高级恶性肿瘤,来自尤文氏家族肿瘤(EFTs),发生在软组织中。EES 的诊断依赖于一系列特征,包括圆形细胞形态、特征性免疫组织化学(如 CD99、FLI-1 和 NKX2.2 阳性)以及 t(11;22)(q24;q12)的病理分子异常。多模式治疗改善了 EFTs 的预后和临床结果。由于其罕见性,目前治疗 EES 的建议基于骨骼尤文肉瘤(SES)指南。然而,由于头颈部解剖结构复杂,紧邻关键结构,因此在头颈部实现清晰的手术切缘常常具有挑战性,使患者在没有辅助治疗的情况下有局部区域复发的风险。关于头颈部 EES 的文献很少,由少数回顾性病例系列和病例报告组成。在此,我们描述了三例源自腮腺、鼻腔/鼻咽和口咽的 EES 患者的特征性临床病理特征和治疗方法,并对文献进行了全面回顾。关键词:尤文氏家族肿瘤,头颈部骨外尤文肉瘤。
