Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumors

The Ewing family of tumors groups together a set of rare tumors that usually originate in the bones or in the nearby soft tissues, and that occur most frequently in children, adolescents, and young adults.

Common symptoms: They can show up with pain or swelling in the affected area, sometimes accompanied by a palpable mass or discomfort that does not ease with rest.

When to see a doctor? With persistent bone pain or swelling that does not improve, especially in young people, the prudent thing is to seek an evaluation to study its cause.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatric oncologist leads the study of these tumors, with support from the orthopedist, the pathologist, and the pediatrician for a comprehensive evaluation.
