BACKGROUND: Primary Ewing sarcoma affecting the skull base in general and the petrous bone in particular is extremely rare with only 4 reports of Ewing sarcoma arising in the petrous temporal bone in the international medical literature. METHODS: The authors report for the first time a case of a primary Ewing sarcoma of the petrous temporal bone in a 5-month-old nursling, which became apparent with a complete peripheral facial palsy and ipsilateral surdity. RESULTS: The neoformation was treated by systemic chemotherapy and radiation of the tumor region. The diagnostic steps, therapy, and development of the child are described in detail; the literature concerning Ewing sarcoma originating from the skull in general and from the petrous temporal bone in particular is reviewed. CONCLUSIONS: The highlights of this case are an extremely uncommon location, an unusual age of presentation, as well as a unique set of symptoms. |
