Abstract

We report a case of a 9-year-old girl with Ewing's who was initially thought to have osteomyelitis. As part of osteomyelitis management, an attempt of drilling the cortex has paved the way for the tumor to extend to all thigh compartments which was beyond salvage. Disarticulation was the final result.
