A 15‐year‐old boy had an extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma arising in the soft tissues of the scalp. The tumor was a rapidly growing, subcutaneous mass unattached to the underlying bony structures. Histologic examination revealed a proliferation of primitive‐appearing, round to oval cells adopting a lobular configuration. Immunohistochemical studies confirmed the undifferentiated mesenchymal nature of the neoplasm.
