A unique pediatric thoracic tumor: A case report of mediastinal Ewing sarcoma
Our case highlights several important points in clinical practice. It emphasizes the need to avoid relying solely on non-contrast CT scans when a mass is suspected. Additionally, fine-needle aspiration (FNA) should be considered for mass lesions to establish a diagnosis before surgical intervention, as some conditions, such as lymphoma, may not require surgery. Our case also demonstrates the successful removal of a large chest mass through a posterior lateral thoracic approach.
