Ewing's sarcoma of the mandible: a combined approach to treatment.
Ewing's Sarcoma (ES) is a malignant tumor, which arises primarily in children. Most commonly found in the long bones and pelvis, it rarely is found in the bones of the face. This is a report of ES of the mandible in a nine-year-old Caucasian female. Treatment for this malignancy included an incisional biopsy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy protocol to the involved area in accordance with St. Christopher's Hospital and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The patient is currently disease-free and has been for approximately five years.
