Primary Ewing's sarcoma of the skull: follow-up with bone scanning.
The authors report and discuss an extremely rare case of primary Ewing's sarcoma originating in the flat bones of the skull. The case was followed up by serial bone scanning during the postoperative period. A subclinical recurrence was detected as a focus at the original site 2.5 years after the first operation. Following a second operation and adjuvant chemotherapy the patient is still asymptomatic.
