Abstract
Costal Ewing sarcoma is a rare primary malignant bone tumor with delayed diagnosis and complex treatment. The diagnosis, evoked in front of swelling, a parietal pain, supported on the tomodensitometry, rests on the anatomopathological examination. The treatment is based on the combination of chemotherapy surrounding complete surgical removal of the tumor. Radiotherapy should remain reserved for a few specific indications because of its complications. We report the case of three children who presented with a pleural effusion revealing Ewing’s sarcoma affecting the ribs.
