simulates an infection
Ewing’s Sarcoma
Fever, Anemia, Leukocytosis, and Elevated ESR
Ewing’s Sarcoma
- Permeative
- Wide zone of transition
- Laminated periosteal reaction (or spiculated)
- Codman’s Triangles
- Cortical saucerization is early sign
- Usually mixed lytic and sclerotic patterns
Ewing’s Sarcoma
early sign of Ewing’s sarcoma
Cortical saucerization
Cortical saucerization is due to
subperiosteal extension of tumor through
Haversion systems of cortex
MC primary malignant bone tumor to metastasize to bone

Ewing’s
Sarcoma
Produces varying amounts of collagen
in 30-50 yo and presents with Local pain and swelling that may refer pain to joint
