Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) is a malignant non-osteogenic primary tumour of the bone, which is mainly seen in the diaphysis of the long bones and in the flat bones of the pelvic girdles in young patients. In 30% of the cases, Ewing’s sarcoma is multicentric in origin and in 14-50% of the cases, multiple metastases are present at the time of diagnosis. Ewing’s Sarcoma of the calcaneum has been infrequently reported in literature.Skip metastases to the adjacent tarsal bones have been reported even more rarely. We wish to report a case of primary Ewing’s sarcoma of the calcaneum with skip metastases to the
adjacent tarsal bones, which was diagnosed by clinicoradiological examination and confirmed by histopathology.
