Atypical Presentation of Ewing Sarcoma in the Spermatic Cord of a Young Adult
This case report describes a rare case of an 18-year male from rural Balochistan, Pakistan.The presentation was unusual with weight loss and slow-growing, mildly tender, mobile swelling, in the left inguinal region suggesting neoplastic aetiology, misdiagnosed as an enlarged inguinal lymph node.Tumour markers were negative and there was no evidence of nodal involvement.An excision biopsy of the inguinal mass showed a reactive lymph node.The patient underwent uncomplicated radical orchidectomy after a month, and on histopathology, it turned out to be Ewing sarcoma.Later, contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) chest, abdomen, and pelvis (CAP) confirmed widespread pulmonary metastasis while the bone scan was normal.Adjuvant chemotherapy was introduced as per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines.Despite all efforts, it recurred as an aggressive metastatic disease with a recurrence of mass larger than the previous one at the surgical site with involvement of local and distant organs, taking its toll on health and leading to the demise of the patient within one year.
