Patient's question:
Since last month, the child has been experiencing high fever without relief. During the medical examination at the hospital, it was discovered that the child had a tumor about 2 centimeters in size on the back of the neck. Later, the doctor identified it as Ewing's sarcoma. The child's current symptoms are all caused by this condition and require hospitalization for treatment for a period of time.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Ewing's sarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor, where the stromal connective tissue originates from bone marrow, and small round cells are the main structure. The modern concept is that Ewing's sarcoma is a small round cell tumor of bone or soft tissue of neuroectodermal origin. The main symptoms are local pain and swelling. At the beginning, the pain is usually not severe, intermittent, aggravated by activity, and gradually increases, becoming persistent pain. Ewing's sarcoma is highly sensitive to radiotherapy, and after low-dose irradiation, the tumor may rapidly shrink, with significant or complete relief of local pain.
