  • Title: Ewing sarcoma of the mandible mimicking an odontogenic abscess - a case report.
    Author: Gosau M, Baumhoer D, Ihrler S, Kleinheinz J, Driemel O.
    Journal: Head Face Med; 2008 Nov 05; 4():24. PubMed ID: 18983686.
    Abstract:
    Ewing sarcoma (ES) of the mandible is rare and can be mistaken for inflammation of dental origin. We present a 24-year old male patient which underwent radical tumour surgery and primary reconstruction with a microvascular osteoseptocutaneous free fibular flap as well as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Incomplete osseous tumour resection required a second intervention. This case report recapitulates the clinical and histopathological findings in oral ES, demonstrates its sometimes difficult diagnosis and discusses the (dis-)advantages of primary osseous reconstruction in ablative tumour surgery.
