Ewing's Sarcoma: Location of the Primary Tumor
Since Ewing's sarcoma can arise in so many different places, there have been a number of "case study papers" on patients with the primary tumor in different locations. Case studies typically deal with a detailed analysis of one person's disease or the diseases of a small group of people. While they often provide some insights regarding the specific situations discussed, they cannot be generalized to larger populations of patients or other situations.

Location of Metastases
Ewing's sarcoma can spread to many places. Common locations are the lungs, bones, and bone marrow; not so common places are the lymph nodes and the brain. See our page about lung metastases.
