Abstract: Ewing’s sarcoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumor are closely related family of small round cell tumors seen in childhood and adolescence. The incidence of these tumors occurring in the head and neck region is just 2-7%. Ewing’s sarcoma of the sinonasal tract is rare and may arise in the maxilla, and on exceedingly rare occasions in the soft tissue of the nose, i.e. as an extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma. We report a case of extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma of the nasopharyngeal region in a 21-year-old male who presented with nasal obstruction and epistaxis. In our case, diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry where round tumor cells were positive for CD 99. Ewing’s sarcoma of nasopharyngeal region is a rare and aggressive tumor. Hence early diagnosis, combined chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy and long term follow up is suggested in such cases.
