Eight patients with Ewing's sarcoma were treated between September 1983 and September 1992 at medical college, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Guro Hospital, Korea University. There were 5 males and 3 femails, with mean age of 28.2 years(ranging from 2-66 years). Three patients with soft tissue Ewing's tumor were excluded from the study. Of the eight patients, two patients presented with multiple metastasis, two cases occurred in the rib, and in the distal femur, mandible, scapular, 3rd, 4th thoracic spine in each patients. Chemotherapy alone was applied in 3 patients, radiotherapy alone in 1 patient, 2 patients were treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Four patients died from the disease itself. Remissions were achieved in the other 4 patients. However, among them two patients relapsed 5 and 36 months later, I patient was not able to be followed, I patient died due to sepsis. The poor prognosis observed for patients with axial lesions should encourage other methods of managing these tumors.
