Ewing’s sarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumour rarely observed in black populations. We report a case of Ewing sarcoma in a 20-year-old boy, manifested by painful swelling of the left shoulder with functional impotence evolving for 2 years. The patient was transferred for care to the Rheumatology Department of Point G University Teaching Hospital on February 13, 2012. The diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma with vertebral (L1) metastasis was retained after a bone biopsy pathological examination.
