Ewing′s sarcoma commonly involves the long bones. Primary Ewing′s sarcoma of the cranium is rare and is difficult to distinguish from other tumors involving the cranium. Radiological features and immuno-histochemistry are helpful in diagnosing this tumor. In this report we present a rare case of primary Ewing′s sarcoma of the occipital bone and discuss the differential diagnostic options.
