    Abstract:
    A 3-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with a 3-month history of moderate fever, cough and dyspnea. Chest X-ray and C-T scan showed huge mass with high density, occupying right anterior thoracic cavity. Tumor marker including CEA, AFP, NSE in serum and VMA in urine revealed within normal data. Cytological finding obtained by percutaneous fine needle aspiration demonstrated neuroblastoma. 4 days after admission, urgent operation was performed, because of reinforced dyspnea. Huge tumor was successfully dissected, with combined resection of 2nd and 3rd ribs. Pathological diagnosis showed Ewing sarcoma originated from rib. This case is the youngest case of Ewing sarcoma of bone in Japan, and the patient is alive with disease free at the postoperative period of 21 months.
