ABSTRACT

Ewing’s sarcoma is a bone tumor that mainly occurs in the hip bones, long bones and underlying soft tissues. It is uncommon in adults and is the second bone tumor in children and adolescents. Clinical case: a 66-year-old woman with pain in the right hip and a month of evolution, a radiographic study is made in which a sub capital fracture is evident. It is shown, during the Arthroplasty. A biopsy is taken due to a great bone fragility, which reports compatible neoplasia with Ewing’s sarcoma. Conclusion: hip fracture is not always due to osteoporosis, in some cases there is a tumor etiology, produced by the Ewing’s sarcoma.
