Abstract

Kidney cancer is considered as one of the commonest urological malignancies globally. Primitive neuroectodermal tumor and ewing sarcoma pathology are commonly found  bone  cancers within the daily clinical practice especially in adulthood.

In this article we will discuss a rare case report of ewing sarcoma family variant (ESFV) within the renal pelvis. Chemotherapeutic and radiation protocols already used in bone ewing sarcoma have been exploited to treat this variant pathological malignancy in the kidney considering the metastatic presentation of the case. Hence, the response to some of these management lines  was obvious during follow up appointments. Unfortunately, side effects were so severe especially the hematological adverse events. By conclusion, the administration of the same protocols as for bone ewnig sarcoma should be discussed carefully in treatment selection.
