Abstract

We report here the case of 16-year-old child suffering from isolated low back pain and whose radiological explorations showed a single involvement of L4 with radicular compression and epiduritis. He underwent a laminectomy with biopsy followed by vertebroplasty of the affected vertebra and lumbar fusion. This conducts to a considerable reduction in pain and an improvement in mobility. The histopathology study confirmed the diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma. The patient was referred for the adjuvant therapy. In the last reevaluation, there was no sign of tumor recurrence.
