Primary intracranial sarcomas are extremely rare tumours and only a
single case has been reported recently. 43 Ewing's Sarcoma arising primarily
in the skull is a less frequent type that neurosurgeons come across.
This report is of a case of Primary Intracranial Ewing's Sarcoma in
an adult presenting as an acute neurosurgical emergency. The related
literature is reviewed.
A 25 years old male was transferred from a local Hospital to neurosurgical
services of Dammam Central Hospital, Dammam, Saudi Arabia, in 1992,
with sudden onset of unconsciousness and left hemiplegia of 4 hours
duration. He had intermittent headaches for 4 days. There was no history
of any illness, epilepsy, and trauma prior to this presentation. Examination
revealed a Glasgow Coma Score of 8 (E-2, V-1, M-5), bilateral papilledema,
right pupil dilated with no reaction to light, left pupil normal in
size and reacting to light, left hemiplegia with extensor plantar and
no nuchal rigidity. Vital signs were normal with respiratory rate of
20/min, pulse rate of 80/min and blood pressure 110/80 mm Hg. General
physical and systemic examination was unremarkable.

Plain x-ray skull revealed osteolytic area in the right fronto-parietal
bone (Fig. 1). An emergency computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain
showed a large enhancing space occupying lesion in the right fronto-parietal
lobe with marked shift and surrounding edema (Fig. 2). Bone window settings
showed erosion of the inner table at the site of lesion (Fig. 3). Patient
underwent emergency right fronto-parietal craniotomy. The inner surface
of the bone measuring 6x4 cm was found eroded and hence discarded. The
dura was involved by a large intradural pinkish white mass, vascular and
soft to firm in consistency. This extracerebral tumour was removed enmasse
along with the dura after coagulating feeding vessels. A duraplasty was
done using pericranial graft. Post operatively patient did well and had
complete neurological recovery. Histological examination of the tumour
revealed it to be Ewing's Sarcoma (Fig. 4), and both the dura and bone
were infiltrated by tumour cells. Radionuclide bone scans; chest radiographs,
CT abdomen, chest and pelvis revealed no evidence of any other lesion.
Patient received post operative radiotherapy, 4000 cGy to whole brain
and a boost to the right fronto-parietal region of 1500 cGy. Total dose
received- 5600 cGy. Patient received chemotherapy after the radiation
therapy in the form of Vincristin (1.5 mg/ sq. Mt IN. weekly, alt. Week),
Actinomycin D (2 mg /sq. Mt I. V. once a month x 6 months), Cyclophosphamide
(300 mg / sq. Mt I.V. weekly, every alternate week x 6) and Adriamycin
(30 mg / sq. Mt I.V. daily x 2 days every month x 6). Patient tolerated
the treatment well. He underwent cranioplasty three months later. He is
being followed regularly and to date is free of any recurrence.
A variety of primary intracranial sarcomas are known. These are extremely
rare tumours and constitute < 1% of all brain tumours. 27,43 Paulus
et al (43) recently screened the relative frequency of currently accepted
sarcoma types and encountered only 19 cases among a total of 2500 biopsy
proven brain tumours. They encountered only one case of Primary Ewing's
Sarcoma arising in the skull.
James Ewing first described Ewing's Sarcoma in 1921. (15) This is an
uncommon malignant bone neoplasm representing about 10% of all malignant
bone tumours. (35) It affects children and young adults. Seventy-five
percent cases occur under 20 years of age, peak incidence is between
5 and 13 years. 12,25,54 Most of the primary tumours arise in long bones
(47%), pelvis (19%) and ribs (12%), (1,I2,16) The tumour affects jaws
more frequently than the skull and a combined incidence is given as
9%. 16 Although primary skull involvement is considered to be up to
4%, (5,12,16) there have been mostly single case reports. Metastasis
occurs in 75-80% of the cases during the first two years (1) and 14-28%
had evident metastasis at diagnosis. (5,16,64) The risk of developing
isolated CNS metastasis is greatest in the first two years after diagnosis
and is approximately 10%. 59
Histologically Ewing's Sarcoma is a highly anaplastic tumour with solidly
packed small round cell. (16) Presence of glycogen is used as a positive
marker of Ewing's Sarcoma. (16,54) Histological and immunohistochemical
features correspond to those of extracranial sarcoma. (43) Primary and
secondary intracranial sarcomas cannot be histologically separated;
hence a thorough clinical examination and follow-up are mandatory. (43)
Soft tissue mass of Ewing's Sarcoma does not ossify in contrast to the
soft tissue mass of osteogenic and chondrogenic sarcomas. (16) It is
postulated to be a myelogenic tumour of multifocal origin with a manner
of spread similar to plasma cell myeloma. l The differential diagnosis
of an intracranial round cell tumour is primitive neuroectodermal tumour
(neuroblastoma),lymphoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and Ewing's Sarcoma. (24,54)
Light microscopic, ultrastructural and immunohistochemical features
(24,54) can differentiate these tumours. However owing to its rarity,
it continues to present difficulty to the histopathologists. Fine needle
aspiration has also been utilised for diagnosing Ewing's Sarcoma. Clusters
of monomorphic tumour cells with round vesicular nuclei and ill defined
delicately vacuolated cytoplasm, many dissociated cells presenting as
naked nuclei and glycogen demonstration in cytoplasm in most of the
tumor cells confirm cytological features of Ewing's Sarcoma. (26)
Many reports mention central nervous system (CNS) involvement by Ewing's
Sarcoma, mostly referable to spine and only a minority had affection
of skull. (10,12,32,35,47,53,63) Even though primary skull Ewing's Sarcoma
is considered to be very rare and most authors cite review of few case
reports, 1,29,37,54,57,65 literature search revealed 33 case reports
and another 18 cases involving skull Vohra VG (63) while describing
roentgenographic manifestations in 156 cases of Ewing's Sarcoma recorded
8 involving the skull bones. Dahlin D, (12) in his report on 6,221 bone
tumors, found only 4 cases involving the skull out of 299 cases of Ewing's
Sarcoma. Coley B, (l0) indicated 3 instances of primary skull involvement
of the skull out of 149 cases and Pritchard DJ (47) reported 3 instances
among 234 cases. Of the 33 cases 15 originated in skull base; temporal
bone in 7 cases; (4,8,16,23,30,54,65) mastoid in 2 cases; (21,69) and
one case each of orbital roof, (10) sphenoid, (40) ethmoid, (24) floor
of middle fossa, (29) zygoma (46) and unspecified (66). Tumour originated
in the skull vault in 18 cases (excluding this case) - frontal in 5
cases; (2,32,37,39,43) fronto-parietal in 4 cases; (25,37,49,67) parietal
in 2 cases; (19,22) temporo-parietal in 2 cases; (26,31) occipital in
2 cases; (17,68) and one case each of parieto-occipital, (57) squamous
temporal, (13) unspecified (19). In 25 cases sex pattern was available
and there were 14 females and 11 males. Age distribution in 27 cases
revealed - one new born female, 2 preschool children, 13 children, 6
adolescents and 5 adults. Our case was 25 years old male and tumour
was located in the right fronto-parietal region.
Pain and swelling are the most common symptoms and signs if the tumour
is located peripherally. (1) With the CNS involvement, headache is most
common complaint and papilledema the most common sign. (35) More commonly
neurological symptoms result from compression or direct invasion by
extradural tumour involving skull bones. l Several cases of primary
skull Ewing's Sarcoma reported had visible external swelling.( l.17,24,26,32,37,54)
Presentation by neurological symptoms alone in cases involving calvarium
was reported in few cases. (19.37,57) None of the cases reported presented
as acute neurosurgical emergency except the case of Tournet et a1 (57)
although reported as acute surgical emergency had only headache, diplopia
and papilledema (the most common features of CNS involvement). Our case
is unique in that it presented as acute neurosurgical emergency with
sudden onset unconsciousness, signs of tentorial herniation and hemiplegia.
There were only three instances mentioning intradural extension of the
tumour, (22,37)-Case 1. 40 In our case tumour was basically intradural
and grossly appeared as if infiltrating dura and inner table of the
skull. There were 7 instances where dura was involved by extradural
tumour or adherent to it (1,22,24,32,37), Case 2 (43,54,57) In cases
of Mishra et a1, (37) intracerebral hematoma was noted in Case 1 and
carpet like involvement of dura in Case 2.
Plain skull x-rays in these cases revealed lytic bone lesion, (1,32,54,68)
normal in the case of Tournet et also but CT showed erosion of the inner
table. CT scans appearance of the soft tissue mass is usually an isodence
to hyperdence mass, which enhances regularly or irregularly with contrast.
1,24,32,37,57,68 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been useful for
precise delineation of the different tumour components, such as extent
of bone and dural involvement. (55) Radionuclide bone scanning is effective
in determining primary lesion, metastasis and follow up; and Ewing's
Sarcoma lesion may show uptake on radionuclide angiography. 16 Chest
radiographs and CT scans are most effective in showing pulmonary metastasis.
Cerebral angiography: usually tumour receives main blood supply from
vessels normally supplying scalp and vault. (32,54)
A number of reports of secondary Ewing's sarcoma affecting skull and
brain are also reviewed and encountered in 31 cases. (3,6,7,9,11,20,28,33,
34,36,38,41,42,44,50,53,55,56,58,60,61) 1n 25 cases location of the
metastasis was available - in 11 cases it was intraparenchymal, (6,7,36,38,41,51,53)
in 12 cases it affected skull - Skull base (20,50,61) Vault (9,42,44,55,56).
In one case there was initial skull metastasis which later developed
parenchyma) metastasis independent of the previous one. (33)_ One case
had multiple metastasis involving scalp, skull and brain. 61 The occurrence
of isolated CNS involvement was not prevented by use of radiotherapy
and intrathecal methotrexate. (59)
The results of treatment had been poor initially and 5 year survival
in the range of 5-16% until 1970. (1,12,24,27,32,47,53) The prognosis
has improved in the last two decades and most series report 2-5 years
disease free survival of 50-80%, when adjuvant chemotherapy is used
irrespective of surgery verses radiotherapy. (1,14,18,24,48,54) Ewing's
Sarcoma of the calvarium generally grants a favourable prognosis following
surgery and/or irradiation and chemotherapy. Those at the skull base
may be difficult to eradicate. (16,22,54) Seventy -five percent were
tumour free 6 months to 7 years post surgery and reminder survived 21
months average. (22) Our case had total removal of the tumour including
dura and bone followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Patient is
about 6 years post surgery and to date free of any recurrence. Suit
HD, reported local recurrence after radiation therapy alone to be 27-38%
1 Four-drug combination VACA (vincristin, actinomycin D, cyclophosamide
and adriamycin) can be considered as gold standard chemotherapy regime
for Ewing's Sarcoma. 14 Concerning local therapy adequate radiotherapy
plays a major role and achieves the similar survival rates as radical
surgery. An objective response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy was
observed in the case of Alvarez et al, (l) when the specimen failed
to reveal presence of any active tumour after second surgery. However,
radiotherapy as a sole local treatment is indicated in inoperable lesions
of spine, skull, sacrum and in small good responding tumours. (14) High-risk
patients should receive combined radiotherapy-surgical treatment, preferably
pre-operative irradiation to the lesion. (14) Preliminary study by Uhl
V (62) has shown that heavy charged particle irradiation can be effectively
used to control bone sarcoma.
Local recurrence in the skull was noted in one case, 2.5 years after
first operation and serial bone scanning helped in the detection of
subclinical recurrence. (67) So far there have been no report of metastasis
to other sites from a primary tumour arising in the skull.
Certain clinical and laboratory prognostic factors seem to indicate
good outcome: (a) duration of symptoms longer than 6 months, (b) absence
of fever or systemic symptoms, (c) absence of metastasis at diagnosis,
(d) a peripheral location of tumour, (e) Laboratory investigations showing:
initial LDH levels-170 i.u. / Litre or less, WBC 7000 or less, lymphocyte
count of less than 2000, a platelet counts below 400,000. (45)
