title: Rare presentation of Ewing's sarcoma: a case report and literature review.
abstract: Ewing's sarcoma rarely occurs in the bones of the hand and feet. The clinical presentations represent a degree of overlap among various benign and infective etiologies. The diagnosis was confirmed by gold standard biopsy. We present a case of Ewing's tumor in a 13-year-old girl and discuss its rare presentation, and also offer a literature review.
