Ewing's sarcoma (ES), the second most prevalent malignant osseous tumor in children and adolescents, primarily affects the extremities' long bones and pelvic region. Characterized by its aggressive growth, ES often presents with symptoms like swelling, pain, and neurological deficits, impacting various skeletal sites. ES involving the spine, particularly the sacral region, poses a significant challenge due to its rarity, aggressive nature, and limited sensitivity to treatments. We report the case of an 18-year-old male with recurrent metastatic ES presenting with fever, cough, and a lesion in the right humerus. Despite prior treatments and complications including spinal metastasis and cord compression, the patient's condition deteriorated, resulting in an unfortunate outcome. This case highlights the complexities in managing recurrent metastatic ES, emphasizing the need for tailored multidisciplinary approaches and early detection strategies.
尤因肉瘤(ES)是儿童和青少年中第二常见的恶性骨肿瘤,主要影响四肢长骨和骨盆区域。ES具有侵袭性生长的特点,常表现为肿胀、疼痛和神经功能缺损等症状,可累及多个骨骼部位。累及脊柱,尤其是骶骨区域的ES,因其罕见性、侵袭性以及对治疗的敏感性有限,带来了重大挑战。我们报告一例18岁男性复发性转移性ES病例,该患者出现发热、咳嗽以及右肱骨病变。尽管此前接受过治疗且出现了包括脊柱转移和脊髓压迫在内的并发症,但患者病情仍恶化,最终结局不幸。该病例凸显了复发性转移性ES治疗的复杂性,强调了需要采取针对性的多学科方法和早期检测策略。
