Abstract
Ewing Sarcoma is a highly lethal undifferentiated tumor of bone. ES is a small round cell tumor with etiological and characteristic chromosomal translocations between TET/FET (TLS/FUS, EWSR1, and TAF15) and ETS (E26 transformation-specific) family genes. Generally, therapeutic approach for metastatic Ewing Sarcoma includes both local (surgery and radiotherapy) and systemic (chemotherapy) disease control with an overall cure rate of 20%. For extra-osseous tumors, the most common primary sites of disease are trunk, extremities, head and neck, retroperitoneum. Among other sites, Ewing Sarcoma/PNET may also rarely arise in colon and rectum. Even if colonic Ewing Sarcoma/PNET have been previously reported in 5 cases, none of those reports came from right side of the colon. In this article, we report the first case of right-sided Ewing Sarcoma with synchronous liver metastases completely responding to first line chemotherapy. Furthermore, we provide a systematic qualitative review of the current literature on adult colorectal Ewing Sarcoma using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).Entities:
