SUMMARY: A 45 year old woman was admitted to the emergency department
of our hospital with an one and a half month history of gradually developing
dyspnea. The chest x-ray showed pleural effusion which involved the middle and
lower right pulmonary field. The patient underwent thoracoscopy (VATS) and a
well differentiated papillary mesothelioma was diagnosed. Right pneumonectomy
was performed and the conclusive histological diagnosis was extrasceletal Ewing
sarcoma. The above case is presented because this Ewing sarcoma was primary
located at the lungs given that the bone scanning was negative for neoplastic
foci. Pneumon 2004, 17(1):94-100.
Key words: Lung, lung malignancy, Ewing sarcoma.
