Ewing Family of Tumors (PDQ®): Treatment
This cancer treatment information summary provides an overview of the prognosis, diagnosis, classification, staging, and treatment of the Ewing family of tumors (EFT). In this review, the EFT includes bone primaries (classic Ewing sarcoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor, and Askin tumor [chest wall]), which will be...

Ewing's sarcoma is a malignant small round-cell tumor and is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor in children. It accounts for approximately 10% of all primary malignant bone tumors. Recent genetic, biochemical, and electron microscopic studies have suggested that Ewing sarcoma is a spectrum of tumors. Ewing sarcoma...

Ewing's sarcoma is a sarcoma of the bone classically described under small round blue cell tumors (SRBCT). There is considerable clinical and histologic overlap between this tumor and the primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). For many years, pathologists struggled to make a diagnostic distinction. Now with sophisticated molecular biological analysis, it...

Ewing's sarcoma is a malignant tumor that belongs to a broader family of tumors that includes PNET (primitive neuroectodermal tumors). In simple terms, these tumors are all pathologically characterized by the so-called "small round blue cells." Ewing's sarcoma almost always occurs in bone, although other members of the PNET family...

16 year old girl had a 6 month history of pain in the left leg, particularly when playing tennis. There is slight irregularity and thickening of the pectineal line and a subtle soft tissue mass on the left side of the pelvis with its centre of radius roughly over the left...

There is a fracture of the diaphysis of the femur through a central lytic area. The process involves patchy bone destruction with irregular undermining of the bone cortex. The endosteal margin of the lesion is ill-defined with a wide margin of transition between normal and abnormal bone. There are islands...
