Ewing’s Sarcoma

  • Chapter
Cancer in Children

Part of the book series: UICC International Union Against Cancer ((1360))

Abstract

Ewing’s sarcoma is a malignant bone tumour characterized histologically by a uniform pattern of small cells with round nuclei but without distinct cytoplasmic borders or prominent nucleoli [1, 2]. Following initial descriptions and case reports by Lücke in 1866 [3] and Hildebrand in 1890 [4], various reports published by Ewing between 1921 and 1939 [5, 6, 7] on the “diffuse endothelioma” or “endothelial myeloma” presented this tumour as a distinct entity.

This research was conducted with support from ‘Deutsche Krebshilfe.
