Primary Intra-abdominal Ewing's Sarcoma in Adults: A Multimodality Imaging Spectrum

Abstract

Ewing sarcoma (ES) and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor are part of a spectrum of neoplastic diseases known as the ES family of tumors, which also includes extraosseous ES, peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor, malignant small-cell tumor of the thoracopulmonary region (Askin's tumor), and atypical ES. Although imaging features of these tumors have been previously described, extensive discussion about intra-abdominal manifestations is scarce in the literature. We present an imaging spectrum of these tumors in the abdomen and pelvis with particular attention to multimodality approach for staging and restaging.
