Ewing's sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/pPNET) belongs to the family of malignant small and blue round cell tumors. It usually occurs in children and young adults with 3/4th of the cases arising from bone and 1/4 from soft tissue. Here, we present two cases of intracranial ES/pPNET who presented with mass effect. Management consists of surgical excision followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Intracranial ES/pPNETs are highly aggressive and rare malignancies, reported to comprise of 0.03% of all intracranial tumors. The most common genetic aberration associated with ES/pPNET is chromosomal translocation t (11,12) (q24;q12). Patients with intracranial ES/pPNETs may present in acute or delayed manner. The presenting symptoms and signs depend on the location of the tumor. Intracranial pPNET although slow growing, they are highly vascular and may present as neurosurgical emergencies due to mass effect. We have presented the acute presentation of this tumor and its management.
