Abstract

Ewing’s sarcoma (EWS) or peripheral neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) are rare tumors. These mostly arise in
the diaphyses of long bones but can also occur in various extra skeletal tissues and carry poor prognoses. Multimodality
treatment of surgery and chemoradiation is needed to improve survival. EWS of adrenal gland is very rare and
the associated Cushing’s syndrome is exceptional. Here in, we present a case of EWS adrenal gland with associated
Cushing’s syndrome
