We describe the case of a 13‐year‐old girl with multifocal disseminated Ewing sarcoma family of tumor ( ESFT ) who received a 5/8 human leukocyte antigen‐matched haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation to generate a graft‐versus‐tumor effect. The patient had grade 2 acute graft‐versus‐host disease ( GVHD ) of the skin and chronic GVHD nausea and abdominal pain that required prednisolone for 17 months, but has been free from ESFT for 3 years 10 months after therapy. The present case suggests a beneficial effect of haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation in disseminated ESFT .
