J Laryngol Otol. 2003 Sep;117(9):736-8. doi: 10.1258/002221503322334639.

Abstract

Ewings' sarcoma involving the facial bones is rare although it is the second most frequent bone malignancy. For the diagnosis a biopsy is needed. Currently the treatment is the combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy with surgery indicated in only a few instances. We report a case of Ewing's sarcoma of the mandible and describe its clinicopathologic features and the treatment of this disease.
