Abstract

Extraskeletal Ewing Sarcoma (EES) is a rare soft tissue tumor that rarely occurs in the head and neck region and closely resembles Ewing sarcoma of the bone in its histomorphology. We present a case of EES involving the lower eyelid of the right eye in a 28-year-old woman. The patient underwent wide local excision of the tumor. The atypical location of the lesion initially obscured the diagnosis, which was ultimately confirmed through immunohistochemical analysis.
