## TL;DR

This paper presents a rare case of Ewing's sarcoma in a 16-year-old's frontal bone that extended into the brain, emphasizing the need for thorough diagnostic and treatment strategies.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in documenting a rare cranial presentation of Ewing's sarcoma and highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration for effective management.

## Key findings

- Ewing's sarcoma was confirmed in the frontal bone with intracranial extension through histopathology and immunohistochemical markers.
- The case highlights the diagnostic challenges and the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach for rare cranial tumors.
- Comprehensive clinical, radiological, and pathological assessments are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

## Abstract

Ewing's sarcoma, though rare, primarily affects children and young adults, commonly manifesting in long bones. Cranial involvement, particularly in the frontal bone, is exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Meticulous pathological assessment is crucial for recognizing and managing such atypical presentations. A 16-year-old male presented with left frontal swelling and neurological symptoms. Imaging revealed a space-occupying lesion involving the left frontal bone with intracranial extension. Histopathology confirmed Ewing's sarcoma based on characteristic findings and positive immunohistochemical markers. Differential diagnoses include metastatic neuroblastoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumors, and chordomas, highlighting the importance of comprehensive evaluation. Ewing's sarcoma involving the skull necessitates a multidisciplinary approach for accurate diagnosis and management. This case underscores the significance of clinical, radiological, and pathological assessments in recognizing rare manifestations. Collaboration among teams is crucial for tailored management strategies and optimal patient outcomes.
