Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a malignancy that arises from bones or soft tissue, characterized by primitive small and round blue cells. Primary ES typically occurs in the long bones, vertebrae, or pelvis, and is extremely rare in the skull base.
CASE DESCRIPTION: A 14-year-old girl presented with posterior cervical pain and dysfunction of multiple cranial nerves (CNs). Radiological investigation revealed a solid mass of the petroclival bone extending into the sphenoid sinus. The patient underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for diagnosis of the pathology, and partial resection was safely achieved. Histopathological, genetic, and radiological examinations confirmed the diagnosis of primary ES. Subsequently, the patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy following which the clinical symptoms resolved. Complete response was achieved after multimodal treatment. Twenty months after treatment, the patient remains in remission without recurrence or metastatic disease. Primary ES of the petroclival bone has been reported in only three cases in the literature. As seen in the present case, dysfunction of multiple CNs is the most common manifestation of petroclival ES. Diagnosis should be confirmed by histopathological and genetic examinations considering the nonspecific clinical symptoms and radiological features.
CONCLUSION: Multimodal treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, can result in favorable outcomes. Clinicians should consider safe resection during surgical management to prevent complications that can delay postoperative multimodal treatment.
