Soft tissue sarcomas compose a very little portion of malignancies and Ewing’s sarcoma is one of these tumors, which is very rare, and the most lethal of all. We report a 37-year-old female at gestational age of 23 weeks with a rapidly growing tumor on the right chest wall and managed with chest wall resection and reconstruction. The togetherness of pregnancy and Ewing’s sarcoma is a rare entity and there is no exact information for treatment in the literature except a few case reports.
