The hand is an uncommon location for Ewing's tumour of the bone. This paper details the presentation, pathology and management of an extra-osseous Ewing's sarcoma of the thumb in an adult woman. The management entailed a combination of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and surgical excision, followed by reconstruction with an interposition bone graft from the subcutaneous surface of the ulna.
