초록

Recently we experienced four cases of soft tissue Ewing sarcoma, developed in the calf muscles in two cases, and one case each in the foot and suprascapular region. We also found that the clinical course in all cases was rather rapid, because of local recurrence and metastatic lesions developing within a few months, followed by the patients' death in about 2 years after the primary tumor was excised. These cases were improperly treated initially as some kind of benign soft tissue tumor. The delay led to missed early accurate diagnosis and was thought to be one of the main causes for the rapid local recurrence and metastasis after tumor excision. The pulmonary metastasis was the most common cause of death.
