Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma: prolonged survival with recurrence after operation

H D Covelli, J F Beekman, R L Kingry

    Southern Medical Journal
    |September 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Extraskeletal small cell tumors, similar to Ewing's sarcoma, often respond well to surgery. However, the best treatment involves a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy for optimal outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Extraskeletal small cell tumors share histological similarities with Ewing's sarcoma of bone.
    • These rare tumors are often misdiagnosed or undertreated due to their infrequent occurrence and nomenclature.

    Observation:

    • A patient with extraskeletal small cell tumor experienced a positive response to radical surgical excision.
    • The case highlights the potential efficacy of surgical intervention for this condition.

    Findings:

    • While surgery alone can be beneficial, it may not be sufficient for optimal management.
    • Combined modality treatment, including surgery, irradiation, and chemotherapy, is emphasized as the superior approach.

    Implications:

    • This study underscores the importance of considering surgical options for extraskeletal small cell tumors.
