Abstract

Ewings sarcoma is an important childhood malignancy. The patient usually presents in an advanced stage and before definitive or palliative therapy can be instituted, rapid and precise diagnosis is imperative. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the lesion aided with cell block preparation for immunohistochemical confirmation can serve as a rapid and inexpensive method for early diagnosis. Here we are presenting a case of Ewings sarcoma in the hip joint along with extraosseous extension in a young female which was diagnosed as well as confirmed on cytology.
