Abstract: In this paper, we consider the problem about finding out perfect powers in an alternating sum of consecutive cubes. More precisely, we completely solve the Diophantine equation $(x+1{)}^3-(x+2{)}^3+cdots-(x+2d{)}^3+(x+2d+1{)}^3=z^p$, where $p$ is prime and $x,d,z$ are integers with $1leqdleq50$.
