Abstract:
:A case of primary Ewing's sarcoma involving a large portion of the petrous temporal bone in an eighteen month old child is reported. The lesion was treated by radical surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. An extremely rare age of presentation, an unusual location and an excellent response to treatment are the highlights of this case.
