%X Ewing sarcoma (ES) is an uncommon and highly aggressive bone malignancy that predominantly occurs in children and young adults. Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma (EES), an even rarer variant, can present in the soft tissues instead of bone. In this case report, we detail a previously healthy 28-year-old male presenting with an isolated enlarged left inguinal lymph node, subsequently diagnosed as EES. The patient presented with a three-month history of a non-tender, gradually enlarging lump in the left groin. Fine needle aspiration revealed a small round blue cell tumor with a high Ki-67 score, and subsequent excisional biopsy identified a rare genetic fusion mutation. Postoperative positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan did not show any fludeoxyglucose F18 (FDG) uptake lesions to suggest residual malignancy. The patient is currently awaiting chemotherapy. Throughout the discussion of this case, we highlight the importance of considering EES in the differential diagnosis of isolated lymph node enlargement, the role of genetic testing in diagnosis, and the treatment modalities offered.
