| Abstract: | A case of Ewing's Sarcoma originating the great toe is reported. Because of the rarity of its appearance outside the pelvis and long tubular bones, Ewing's Sarcoma is often misdiagnosed when it occurs in the distal portion of the extremities. Ewing's Sarcoma may be difficult to distinguish from infection. Biopsy is recommended for any indolent or refractory lesions presumed to be infectious. Bone scanning with Technetium Polyphosphate is a useful tool for diagnosis and evaluation of this tumor. Vigorous integrated chemotherapy and radiotherapy had little effect in this patient with metastatic disease. |
