Introduction

Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a small, blue, round cell tumor usually affecting long bones. In 90% of the cases, it occurs in patients aged from 5 to 25 years. While the incidence shows a peak during the second decade of life, it is extremely rare after the third decade of life.[1] [2] The disease shows a slight predilection for males (male to female ratio of 1.6:1.0).[3] It rarely arises in fingers. Here, we present a case of ES of phalanx in an adult.
