Extra skeletal Ewing's Sarcoma (EES) of nasal cavity is a rare soft tissue tumor, morphologically similar to the commoner Ewing's sarcoma (ES) arising from bone. We report a case of EES of nasal cavity in a nine year old male who presented with nasal obstruction. Contrast enhanced CT scan showed mildly enhancing soft tissue attenuating mass. Histopathologically examination showed round cell tumor which was confirmed by special stain and immunohistochemistry. PAS showed positivity for intracellular glycogen, Immunohistochemistry showed positivity for MIC-2, CK, S- 100, EMA.
An extensive review of literature, to the best of our knowledge, did not reveal many cases of EES of nasal cavity, in children younger than ten years
