She Underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and lymph node disection. The histopathological examination revealed a high-grade primitive small round tumor the cells of which were strongly positive for CD99 and vimentin. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis using a DNA probe for the Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (EWSR1) on chromosome 22g12 revealed a rearrangement of the EWSR1 locus.
