Abstract

Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/PNET) family mainly occurs from skeletal system. ES/PNET from the female reproductive organs such as ovary and uterus has been reported very rarely. Recently, we experienced one case of malignant ovarian neoplasm, which was diagnosed as extraosseous ES/PNET of ovary and received operation and chemotherapy. So, we report this case and include a brief literature review.
