Abstract

 The case of a 51-year-old man with Ewing’s sarcoma of the thumb is presented. The tumor involved the distal phalanx of the right thumb, associated with an impressive extraskeletal mass. Histology revealed a round cell sarcoma with a positive immunoreactivity with monoclonal antibody O13. Five years after disarticulation at the metacarpophalangeal joint, the patient is alive without recurrence or metastasis.
