| Abstract: |
Ewing's sarcoma of bone is a rare malignant round cell tumor of the head and neck. The jaw, particularly the mandible, accounts for 3% of occurrences in the head and neck area. These tumors have been reported more frequently in men than in women, and they are usually between 5- and 20-year-old. It is difficult for clinicians and pathologists to make a diagnosis based solely on clinical and microscopic findings. Immunohistochemistry presents a plausible tool that can help the pathologist to arrive at a confirmatory diagnosis. This jaw tumor has the best prognosis when detected and treated early in the disease course, so the importance of timely, and accurate diagnosis cannot be overemphasized. The highlighting feature of this case report of an 18-year-old male that was primary detected by immunohistochemically as Ewing's sarcoma and is localized to the impacted left mandibular molars.
