Resumen

El sarcoma de Ewing es una neoplasia de hueso y tejidos blandos, cuyo manejo se relaciona con toxicidad hematológica. Este aspecto representa un desafío médico y ético en los pacientes testigos de Jehová quienes, por sus creencias religiosas, rechazan la aplicación de hemoderivados, con riesgo de que se descontinúe la quimioterapia o de que se utilicen dosis subóptimas.
Se presenta el caso de una mujer colombiana de 34 años, testigo de Jehová, con diagnóstico de sarcoma de Ewing con estadificación clínica IIB (T1N0M0) en las regiones maxilar y mandibular izquierdas, tratada con  quimioterapia, quien presentó un valor mínimo de hemoglobina de hasta 4,5 g/dl y tuvo indicación quirúrgica como parte del tratamiento.
En estos pacientes, la decisión de practicar una transfusión comprende implicaciones éticas que requieren alternativas terapéuticas y un abordaje multidisciplinario.
