Objective. Ewing’s sarcoma of the kidney is rare and is usually found in young adults. We present here a single case study of Ewing's sarcoma found in an elderly man.Material and methods. A 73-year-old man underwent routine surgery for hydrocoele of the testis. He developed urinary obstruction symptoms, and radiological examinations revealed a tumour in the right kidney.Results.Microscopical, immunohistochemical, and molecular pathological analysis of the tumour was consistent with Ewing's sarcoma. FISH showed rearrangement of chromosomes 22q12 (EWSR1). The patient subsequently underwent nephrectomy followed by 6 adjuvant chemotherapy cycles. Follow-up after 7 months shows no recurrence.Conclusion. This case report presents not only the rare finding of Ewing's sarcoma in the kidney, but also the occurrence of this tumour entity in an elderly patient. Treatment options for the different types of renal tumours are vastly different and the need for a correct diagnosis is, therefore, vital.

Abstract Background: Total femur replacement is a relatively rarely performed procedure for the reconstruction of an affected limb after resection of a malignant bone tumor. Objective: Report total femur replacement in a 17-year-old male patient after wide resection of the right femur for involvement of the proximal segment of the bone by Ewing’s sarcoma. Results: The complications that often arose from the use of the tumor prostheses after the tumor resection, e.g., infection and migration/dislocation of the artificial bonehead, were overcome successfully. The patient has been under follow-up for a relatively long period of time (16 years) since the surgery. The operated limb function is now rated at 70% according to the rating system by Musculo-Skeletal Tumor Society (MSTS). The patient has almost completely regained his ability to walk and carries on with activities of daily living. Conclusion: If appropriate measures are taken to deal with the complications, favorable function of the operated limb can be expected to be maintained for long periods after reconstruction using this technique.

A 37-year-old female with a history of complex trauma, anxiety and depression was treated with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) supplemented with guided imagery within the first 24 hours of having a stroke that affected the right side. CT scans indicated a haemorrhage and brain clot. Surgery was delayed as another seizure was expected. Interventions occurred during COVID-19 restrictions. The patient then engaged in 90 minutes of EFT every day over the course of a week while in hospital. After seven days she was discharged, and there were significant reductions in depression, anxiety and pain, and mobility returned. Upon discharge the patient had evident improvement in balance and coordination and successfully completed a driving test within the weeks that followed. Subsequent CT scans reveal very little scaring or evidence of the stroke, blood pressure remained stable, and no medication was warranted. This case study presents the practitioner’s perspective of the sessions provided.

✓ The authors present a case in which primary Ewing's sarcoma of the right petrous pyramid in a 9-year-old girl showed no uptake on a 99mTc-pertechnetate nuclide angiogram. Intense uptake was present on a 99mTc-polyphosphate bone scan, but a static brain scan was only minimally abnormal. The diagnosis and treatment of Ewing's sarcoma are reviewed.

We report a case of limited stage Ewing's sarcoma which was initially treated as chronic osteomyelitis for 3 years. A 24-year-old man presented with a one-week history of pain in the right arm and fever, with histology suggestive of osteomyelitis of the affected humerus. He developed multiple relapses of pain and fever; each episode responded to antibiotic treatment. A second biopsy was performed 3 years later and confirmed a diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma. Despite a 3-year delay in diagnosis, the disease remained localised. This case report highlights an atypical facet of the natural history of Ewing's sarcoma: a response to antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agents, and the limited stage of the disease despite a misdiagnosis of 3 years. This suggests the possibility that anti-inflammatory agents exert an inhibitory effect on the tumour growth. We also highlight the newer histologic and immunologic staining used in the diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma.

Abstract Background: Pyothorax-associated lymphoma is a rare disease with variations in endemic prevalence. PAL arising from a posttraumatic empyema are a rare occurrence.Case presentation: a male patient, 83 years old. Twenty years earlier, the patient fell from a height, sustaining a fracture to the right rib, which improved after conservative treatment. In September 2018, the patient had right chest pain (ribs 9–10). In February 2019, the chest pain became worse during sleep. CT examination showed inflammation of the right lower lobe, chronic empyema on the right with subdiaphragmatic infection, fibrosis of the right lung, atherosclerosis, thickening of the left pleura with rib destruction, and membranous calcification around the lesion. After 5 days of treatment with cefoperazone, sulbactam sodium, and ornidazole, the patient’s chest pain did not improve. The results of 18F-FDG PET/CT showed the following: a solid mass in the lower right thoracic cavity. Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor cells were negative for CD20 and CD3, positive for background mature T lymphocytes, positive for Pax-5, positive for MUM-1, Ki-67 (70%, +); AE1/AE3, CD138, Bcl-6, CD10, CD5, CD56, MPO (-); CD79α (part +), EMA (part +), CD38 (+), bcl-2 (+). In situ hybridization (CISH): EBER+. Mini-CHOP chemotherapy was implemented on April 11, 2019. The patient stopped taking analgesics on the day of chemotherapy. The pain disappeared one week later, and the EBV-DNA fell to the normal range. In the later stage, the family members of the patient declined further patient treatment and reexamination. The patient’s condition worsened in July 2019 and he died on September 25, 2019.Conclusion: Pathological morphology is vital important to make a final diagnosis and avoid misdiagnosis or miss diagnosis. This case is described by a combination of imaging and pathological examinations that reports the clinical pathological diagnosis and treatment process of a single case of pyothorax-associated lymphoma, and it provides some diagnostic information regarding the rare disease of PAL.

High Risk Case

Ewing’s sarcoma is an aggressive fatal malignancy of bones and soft-tissue. It predominantly affects the young population, with a worldwide incidence of three cases per million. The pelvis, extremities, and ribs are the most common sites. We present a case of massive Ewing’s sarcoma of the right femur with metastasis to bones and lungs. The patient was treated with chemotherapy. However, he succumbed to his illness before completion of therapy. In conclusion, Ewing’s sarcoma with distant metastasis is a high risk case with poor prognosis. Integrating novel molecular targets with conventional chemotherapeutic agents holds a promise for high-risk Ewing’s sarcoma patients.

Review of 39 cases of sarcomas involving soft tissues, especially of the lower extremity and paravertebral region of children and young adults, disclosed a uniform histologic picture that was indistinguishable from that of Ewing's sarcoma of bone (1). Biopsy of a soft tissue tumor of the right thigh of a ten year old boy was studied by light microscopy and diagnosed as poorly differentiated sarcoma, probably extra skeletal Ewing's sarcoma (2). A portion of the biopsy was processed for electron microscopy to elucidate the ultrastructural pathology.The specimen revealed a neoplasm, consisting of sheets of viable as well as necrotic tumor cells. The viable cells had a single large rounded, oval or kidney- shaped nucleus with one or more dense nucleoli and chromatin with occasional clumping along the periphery and also in the interior.
