Ewing's sarcoma is a relatively common malignant bone tumor that typically occurs in long bone diaphyses of adolescents and young adults of 10-30 years old. Often times, all Ewing's sarcoma of bone have radiographic abnormalities. Diagnosis is usually delayed and can be misdiagnosed as osteomyelitis. Bone to bone metastasis occurs, but soft tissue retro bulbar metastasis is rare. This article presents a 32-year-old man with Ewing's sarcoma of proximal tibial epiphysis, without any radiographic finding, that was treated as osteomyelitis and progressed as a retro bulbar mass.
