Popis: Abstract Background Ewing sarcoma is a malignant round-cell tumor that primarily affects bones in children. It can also arise in extraosseous tissues, such as the lung, kidneys, and liver. The presentation symptoms of Ewing sarcoma may include cough, dyspnea, and chest pain. Case presentation This report details the history of a 15-year-old Syrian boy with a previous diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma who presented with chronic shoulder pain. Imaging studies revealed an 80 mm mass in the apex of the left lung, which was confirmed through histopathological examination to be Ewing sarcoma following a computed-tomography-guided biopsy. The patient received multiple cycles of chemotherapy and subsequently underwent surgical resection of the remaining mass. Conclusions This case highlights the rare occurrence of Ewing sarcoma in the lung and the unusual clinical presentation of shoulder pain without other accompanying symptoms.
