2024Open accessMohammed V University

Abstract

Ewing's sarcoma can affect any bone. Primary localization in the coracoid process is extremely rare and atypical. In the literature there have been a few reports of Ewing's sarcoma of the scapula. We report the case of an adolescent who presented to our department for investigation of a swelling in the left shoulder. Imaging revealed an osteolytic mass centered on the coracoid process. Histological study was in favor of Ewing's sarcoma.
