title: Radiosurgical treatment for Ewing's sarcoma of the lumbar spine: case report.
abstract: METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this study was to document the long-term follow-up of a single case.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  Radiosurgery is potentially a useful therapeutic option for spinal tumors. The authors present the unusual case of a patient with recurrent extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma of the lumbar spine, who experienced excellent clinical, radiographic, and oncologic response without complications after treatment with dedicated Novalis Shaped Beam Radiosurgery (Brain Lab, Inc.).
  
  
  METHODS
  Observational.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We observed excellent clinical and oncologic control at 1-year posttreatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Radiosurgery may be a valuable treatment option for recurrent spinal tumors.
