title: Primary calvarial Ewing's sarcoma presenting as a giant fungating skull tumour: a case report.
abstract: Giant calvarial Ewing's sarcoma is a rare entity. A 9-year-old girl presented with such a lesion, larger than her head and was fungating through the overlying skin. Surgical excision was done and the child was given chemotherapy. The child died after the second cycle. It is extremely uncommon to come across this disease in such an advanced stage.
