There appears to be some ambiguity surrounding interpretation of collaborating disciplines on how 'Ewing sarcoma' is named, written or spoken. And they mostly are pretty sure about their version (or probably unaware of any other version!). The article will focus on the issue of how Ewing sarcoma is quoted in literature and shed some light on origin of the term. This will also serve as an introd...

Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor now termed as Ewings sarcoma/PNET, representing a family of tumors with varying degrees neuronal differentiation and genetic rearrangements. Most common sites are extraosseous involving trunk lower limb. Base tongue is very rare site for Ewing’s/PNET, hence in view rarity the location an uncommon presentation, case has been reported better understandin...

Ewing sarcoma is a rare sarcoma of bone and soft tissue that uncommonly involve the head and neck. It is the second most common malignant tumor seen in children and young adults. It is most common observed during the second or third decade, with a male predilection. In the head and neck region, it involves skull, clavicle, maxilla, and mandible. The reported incidence of this tumor is only 1-3 ...

A case is reported in which the amputation of a leg for a sclerosing type of osteogenic sarcoma was followed five years later by a metastasis of similar appearance in the skull. This was excised but subsequent necropsy revealed multiple bony tumours in the lungs. The rarity of multiple osteogenic sarcoma is recalled as shown by a review of the literature. Although some are thought to be of mult...

Among the group of small round cell tumors of kidney Ewing's sarcoma/PNET is a very rare entity which has aggressive clinical course. We report a case of renal mass in 24 years old male which was histologically diagnosed as small round cell tumor of kidney. Arrangement of the malignant cell along with vascular network in a filigree pattern was suspicious for a diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma/PNET ...

Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma is covered by other ESMO Guidelines: in general, the same principles for these tumours in children apply to adults. This is also the case for embryonal and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, which are exceedingly rare in adults. On the other hand, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma is viewed as a high-grade adult-type soft tissue sarcoma. Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are cover...

Introduction : Ewing's sarcoma is the second most common primary malignant tumor of bone found in children after Osteosarcoma. It accounts for 4-9% of primary malignant bone tumors and it affects bones of the skull or face in only 1-4% of cases. Hence it rarely affects the head and neck. Subject and Method : In this case report, we describe a case of primary Ewing's sarcoma occurring in the tem...

BACKGROUND Outcomes for pediatric solid tumors have significantly improved over the last 30 years. However, much of this improvement is due to improved outcome for patients with localized disease. Here we evaluate overall survival (OS) for pediatric patients with metastatic disease over the last 40 years. PROCEDURE The United States Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database ...
