Ewing's Sarcoma Directory
Ewing's sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that starts in the bone or soft tissues surrounding the bone. It is most commonly seen in kids ages 10 to 20, usually boys. Ewing's sarcoma typically affects the long bones, such as the thigh, shin, or upper arm. However, the tumors can spread to nearby muscles and bone marrow, as well as distant areas of the body, including the lungs, kidneys, and heart. Symptoms may include fever and pain, redness, and a lump or swelling at the tumor site.
