Abstract
Oral soft tissue metastases are rare, accounts for 1%-8% of all oral cancers. Gingiva is the most common site among all soft tissue in oral cavity. Ewing’s sarcoma rarely metastasizes to gingiva. Here, we are presenting a case of Ewing sarcoma metastasized to lower gingiva after a long interval of primary treatment. Patient was managed with local radiotherapy, which has responded well and was followed by palliative chemotherapy. Although, its early recognition and local treatment by radiotherapy helps in improving quality of life but it is a poor prognostic sign.
Keywords : Gingiva, Ewing’s Sarcoma, Humans, Mouth Neoplasms.
