Ewing sarcoma of the humerus in children. A four-year-old and five-month-old patient presented with pain and a tumor in the left humerus in January 1991. The biopsy revealed Ewing’s sarcoma. Staging did not reveal another focus. He underwent treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, showing a good radiographic response to treatment, with mineralization of the lesion and angular deformity due to neoplastic plasticity, figures 1 to 4.

In May 2015, the patient had her first child, giving birth to a boy. In 1991, we had not yet performed autotransplantation of growth cartilage, reconstructing this segment with a vascularized fibula with the growth plate, to replace the humerus plate, which when resected. However, the upper limb better accepts the length discrepancy, crowning the alternative we used at the time.
