Extraskeletal Ewings sarcoma of the small bowel: case report and literature review.

Extraskeletal Ewings sarcoma is a tumour of neuroectodermal origin sharing close similarities with Ewings sarcoma of bone. We report the case of a 21 year old 16 week pregnant woman presenting with vomiting and weight loss and found to have an extraskeletal Ewings sarcoma of the small bowel. In a review of the literature there are no previous reports of extraskeletal Ewings sarcoma occurring in the small bowel. The diagnosis of extraskeletal Ewings sarcoma and the complicated management of a young pregnant woman with a malignant tumour are described.
