Ewing sarcoma is a rare malignant pediatric sarcoma of bone and soft tissues, which is more unusual in head and neck region. Although the exact histogenesis is still unknown, various cells have been proposed as cells of origin namely, endothelial, hematopoietic, fibroblastic, mesenchymal stem cells or neural derived mesenchymal stem cells. ES is more common in younger age group and among the gnathic bones, mandible is affected more than maxilla. This paper presents the first case of Ewing Sarcoma in the maxilla being reported in the adult age group from India and among the very few reported worldwide.
