Abstract
Extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (E-EWS/pPNET) is a rare aggressive malignant small round cell tumor. In this report, we present the case of a 15-year-old boy who suffered from acute abdominal pain accompanied by hematemesis and melena, and was eventually diagnosed with E-EWS/pPNET. To date, there have been only five reported cases of E-EWS/pPNET of the small bowel including the patient in this report. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documentation of a pPNET of the small bowel mesentery at nonage. All these have made this report rare and significant.
Core tip: Extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (E-EWS/pPNETs) are rare aggressive malignant small round cell tumors that are derived from the outer central and autonomic nervous systems. To date, there have been only five reported cases of E-EWS/pPNET of the small bowel including the patient presented in this report. The patient presented in this report is the youngest and had the worst prognosis.
