چکیده

A case of retroperitoneal extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma (EES) with renal involvement, which simulated an exophytic renal mass, is reported. EES is a rare soft tissue tumor that can occur anywhere in the soft tissues, but is seen most commonly in the extremities. Although EES is histologically similar to osseous Ewing's sarcoma, it is usually found in older patients. EES should be included in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors, especially in the second and third decade of life.

The image recognotion and the classification of objects according to the images are more in focus of interests, especially in medicine. A mathematical procedure allows us, not only to evaluate the amount of data per se, but also ensures that each image is pro- cessed similarly. Here in this study, we propose the power of shape analysis, in conjunction with neural networks for reducing white n...
