An unusual breast tumor – A case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract:Extraskeletal Ewing's Sarcoma/Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (EWS/PNET) presenting as a breast mass is uncommon. EWS/PNET of the breast may impose a diagnostic challenge, mammography and ultrasonography features are nonspecific. The histopathological pattern is variable depending on the degree of neuroectodermal differentiation. Immuno-phenotyping is necessary and genetic study is the only confirmatory tool. We report a case of a 29 year old lady who developed a painless breast swelling during pregnancy and diagnosed to have ewing's sarcoma of the breast. Keywords:Ewing sarcoma, Extraosseous, Breast.
