Radiographic findings of Ewing's sarcoma of the jaws

The radiographic findings in eight cases of Ewing's sarcoma of the jaws are analysed in detail. Similar findings to those in peripheral skeletal involvement were demonstrated including: (a) permeative bone destruction, (b) periosteal reaction, and (c) extraosseous soft tissue mass. Specific to the jaws is the occurrence of dental displacement without destruction. The differential diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma of the jaws is discussed in detail and illustrated.
