Abstract

Pediatric lung cancer is a very rare occurrence, particularly as a primary lesion. A concurrent diagnosis is even more unusual and only reported a handful of times in Ewing sarcoma. Our patient is a 13-year-old boy who had concurrent diagnoses of Ewing sarcoma and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma of the lung, formerly bronchoalveolar carcinoma. To our knowledge this has also been found in at least 1 other case. There are some classic genetic mutations associated with Ewing sarcoma. None have been found to be linked with the concurrent diagnosis. A biological linkage is worth considering.
