Abstract

Ewing sarcoma is part of the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) and typically affects adolescents and young adults. Ewing sarcoma usually presents as an osteolytic lesion but can also have an osteosclerotic component and, in most cases, has an associated soft-tissue mass. This variable bone response can result in varying levels of uptake on bone scintigraphy and FDG-PET/CT, and both techniques provide complementary information.
