Introduction Ewing’s sarcoma belongs to a spectrum of neoplastic diseases known as Ewing’s family of tumors. This family of tumors is usually seen in osseous sites. Ewing’s sarcoma of the cervix is extremely rare, with only 18 cases reported in the English literature. The immunohistochemical profile of Ewing’s sarcoma overlaps with other malignancies like small cell carcinoma. The rarity and complex pathologic picture of Ewing’s sarcoma of the cervix creates the potential for misdiagnosis. Hence, we believe this case needs to be reported to add to the available literature.
