Popis: Askin tumor (a Ewing sarcoma variant) is the most common tumor of the chest wall in the pediatric age group. Multimodal treatment is required, with complete resection being the cornerstone of effective management. We describe the case of a 13-year boy with a left paraspinal Ewing sarcoma with intraspinal extension and spinal cord compression with neurological weakness. He underwent complex surgical resection using thoracoscopic resection of multiple ribs along with vertebral resection and reconstruction, after neoadjuvant therapy.
