3-year-old boy presenting with exopthalmos
• Patient presented to the PCP complaining of right eye swelling. Given the patient’s history of allergies, antihistamines were prescribed without improvement.
• A few weeks afterwards, patient presented to the ED with right eye protrusion and erythema.
• Physical exam showed intact vision.• And imaging was performed.
Clinical history

Radiology: Identify the lesion and name the 3 imaging modalities used below.

Radiology: Imaging of the skull lesion. Identify the lesion and name the 3 imaging modalities used below.
This is an extraaxial (nonbrain) mesenchymal lesion invading into the orbital space
A biopsy was performed and an intraoperative consultation was requested.

What is your differential diagnosis?
14
• Small round blue cell tumor– Ewings Sarcoma/ Primitive neuroectodermal tumor– Neuroblastoma– Rhabdomyosarcoma– CNS Primitive neuroectodermal tumor– Lymphoma– Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor – Ependymoma
What is your differential diagnosis?
15
What stains would you order?
16
– Ewings Sarcoma/ Primitive neuroectodermal tumor – CD99– Neuroblastoma – Pgp 9.5, synaptophysin or chromogranin– Rhabdomyosarcoma – myogenin, desmin, smooth muscle actin,
vimentin– CNS Primitive neuroectodermal tumor – GFAP– Lymphoma – CD3, CD20– Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor – INI– Ependymoma – EMA, p53
These are the stains the pathologist ordered.

Immunohistochemical stains

CD99
Immunohistochemical stains

synaptophysin
• CD99 was strongly and diffusely positive• Synaptophysin showed diffuse but patchy cytoplasmic
staining• Vimentin (not shown) highlighted vessels• INI (not shown) was intact• All other stains (not shown) in panel were negative
What do you see on the stains?

What is your final diagnosis?
21
• Final diagnosis: – Ewings Sarcoma/Primitive Neuroectodermal tumor– FISH studies were positive for t(11;22).

Adapted from
Many translocations have been identified for Ewing’s sarcoma. The table lists the most commonly identified ones with t(11;22) as the most common.
• The prognostic factors for increased survival and response to treatment are:– Female gender
– Younger children (<10 years old)
– Small tumor size or volume
– Tumor location (axial worse than extremities)
– Decreased serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
– No metastasis
– Lack of overexpression of p53
– Low Ki67 proliferation index
• The 5-year survival rate has increased over the same time from 59% to 76% for children younger than 15 years and from 20% to 49% for adolescents aged 15 to 19 years.[Smith MA, Seibel NL, Altekruse SF, et al.:
