Summary:A rare case of Ewing's sarcoma, originating in the mandible, is reported. The symptomatologic and radiological aspects is often aspecific. For this reason the diagnostic-therapeutic routine is presented and the difficulty of clinical diagnosis is accentuated.

This will be useful to reach an accurate preoperative diagnosis and in order to adopt a correct therapeutic protocol.
