Primary Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) of the cranium is extremely rare. It accounts for <1% of cases. We retrospectively analyzed our EWS cases to determine those which had a primary cranial involvement. Out of a total of 332 cases of EWS registered between the years 2000 and 2011, 7 were of the primary cranial involvement. Treatment modalities included surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy (RT), as indicated. The follow-up ranged from 8 months to 7.5 years. In our study, parieto-occipital region was the commonest site. Most patients presented with localized disease and swelling of the scalp. Excision followed by chemotherapy or RT appears to have good survival rates. At a median follow-up of 32.2 months, only one patient had a recurrence, and was successfully salvaged with second line chemotherapy. These cases illustrate that a multi-disciplinary approach in patients with EWS of the cranium results in a good outcome. Abstract in Chinese 颅骨原发性尤文氏肉瘤病例及文献回顾
摘要
头骨的原发性尤文氏肉瘤（EWS）是极为罕见的。它占＜1%的病例。本文回顾性分析了我们的原发于颅骨的EWS病例。2000和2011年间登记的EWS共332例，7例原发颅骨受累。治疗方式包括手术，化疗，放疗（RT）。随访8个月～7.5年。在我们的研究中，顶枕区是最常见的部位。绝大多数患者表现为局部病灶和头皮肿胀。化疗或放疗后切除似乎有良好的生存率。中位随访32.2月，只有一个病人复发，并被二线化疗成功挽救。这些情况说明，多学科联合治疗有助于颅骨EWS患者治疗。
