Abstract

Ewing sarcoma is one of the small round blue cell tumors of childhood that typically affects bone. Recently, a subgroup of undifferentiated round-cell sarcomas has been genetically identified as BCOR (B-cell Line 6 Corepressor)-altered sarcomas (BAS). We present a case of a six-year-old male child who presented with a chief complaint of shortness of breath and tachypnea and was found to have a large mediastinal mass concerning sarcoma. Preliminary biopsy results were positive for small round blue cells, possibly Ewing sarcoma. After six cycles of chemotherapy, with subsequent shrinkage of mediastinal mass, the patient was able to undergo wedge resection and excision of the mass with en bloc resection of the fifth and sixth rib, preserving his right lung. Final tissue pathology was positive for BAS. There have been only four reported cases of BAS of the chest wall and zero reported cases of primary tumor presentation of the lung, making this a rare presentation of the disease.
