Abstract

The Ewing family of tumors includes classic Ewing Sarcoma (ES), atypical ES, primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), and Askin tumor. It is a small round blue cell tumor involving most commonly the diaphyses of long bones. We present a series of four cases of ES occurring at rare sites.

Keywords: Ewing’s sarcoma, PNET, small round cells, FLI-1, CD99.
