    <abstract locale="en_US">Introduction: Ewing&#x2019;s sarcoma is the second most common primary malignant tumor of bone found in children after Osteosarcoma. It accounts for 4&#x2013;9% of primary malignant bone tumors and it affects bones of the skull or face in only 1&#x2013;4% of cases. Hence it rarely affects the head and neck. 
Subject and Method: In this case report, we describe a case of primary Ewing's sarcoma occurring in the temporal bone. The tumor was surgically excised, and the patient underwent chemotherapy for ten months. 
Results: Neither recurrence nor distant metastasis was noted in these 10 months after surgery but about 18 months after surgery our patient was expired.
Conclusion: Although the prognosis of Ewing's sarcoma is generally poor because of early metastasis to the lungs and to other bones, a review of the article suggested that Ewing&#x2019;s sarcoma occurring in the skull can often be successfully managed by intensive therapy with radical excision and chemotherapy. This result was supported by the case reported here.</abstract>
