Ewing sarcoma

Ewing sarcoma
a highly malignant, metastatic, primary tumor of bone, closely related to a primitive neuroectodermal tumor; it is usually found in the diaphyses of long bones, ribs, or flat bones of children or adolescents. Characteristics include saucerization of the cortex, patchy, permeative destruction, and often a large soft tissue mass; the most common symptoms include pain, swelling, leukocytosis, and fever. Called also Ewing tumor.
