Abstract:
:We present clinicopathological and molecular cytogenetic features of five rare cases of Ewing sarcomas, occurring in the female genital tract. A 40 year-old lady presented with a 5.4 cm-sized vaginal mass of 3 months duration, which was histopathologically diagnosed as ES. She defaulted chemotherapy and 8 months later, presented with a recurrence. She underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A 45 year-old lady presented with recurrent vaginal bleeding, for which she underwent total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) and unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO), 2 and 1/2 years back. Subsequent vaginal biopsy was reported inconclusively, elsewhere. Thereafter, a 5 cm-sized, residual cervicovaginal mass was reported as ES. She completed induction chemotherapy with a significant response. A 35 year-old-lady was referred with a 4 cm-sized cervical mass, for which she underwent TAH-USO with pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. A 39 year-old-lady presented with a right labial lesion, which recurred. She underwent initial excision, chemotherapy, wide excision and brachytherapy. A year later, she developed multiple metastases; received palliative radiotherapy and died-of-disease. A 16 year-old girl presented with perineal swelling of 4 months duration. She underwent surgical excision of a recurrent right-sided labial cyst, followed by chemotherapy. On histopathological review, all 5 cases were malignant round cell tumors. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells displayed MIC2/CD99 and Fli1 positivity, along with focal positivity for pan cytokeratin (AE1/AE3) (cases 1 and 2) and p63 (case 2). Furthermore, tumor cells in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th cases displayed EWSR1 rearrangement. Five uncommon cases of ES involving the female genital tract are presented with diagnostic challenges and therapeutic implications.
