Primary spinal epidural Ewing's sarcoma.
A rare case of Ewing's sarcoma, originating primarily in the spinal epidural space is reported. Only five similar case reports are available in the English literature. Full recovery from a state of complete paraplegia, due to malignant compression, local recurrence without distant metastases and the longest survival of more than three years and six months, makes a unique combination. Pathology and therapy are briefly discussed and the pertinent literature reviewed.
