Popis: Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) and primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) were considered as two ends of a spectrum of same tumor entity based on their similar clinical, immuno-histochemical and cytogenetic features. Extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma (EES) is a type of Ewing’s sarcoma that arises in soft tissue and is regarded as a member of the Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) family. Primary visceral ES/PNETs are very rarely seen aggressive tumors. We present this case as this is forth case of ES/PNETs with penile localization [1–3]. One case of EES metastasizing to penis was also reported [4].
