    Abstract:
    Adamantinoma-like Ewing sarcoma is a rare variant of Ewing sarcoma with histologic and immunohistochemical evidence of squamous differentiation. This variant most commonly occurs in the head and neck region with a few cases reported in the long bones of the limbs. It may be associated with poorer clinical outcome and could pose a diagnostic challenge, particularly if it occurs in older patients or as a metastatic lesion. We present a case of Ewing sarcoma in the metatarsal of an 11-year-old boy that manifested adamantinoma-like morphology after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Chemotherapy has been reported to induce neuronal maturation and rhabdoid morphology in cases of Ewing sarcoma, but no reports of treatment-induced squamous differentiation with P40/P63 expression have been demonstrated. This is also the first documented case treated with a pedicled osteocutaneous fibular transfer in a metatarsal malignancy, which is usually treated by either ray or below-knee amputation.
