    Author: Dhillon MS, Singh DP, Sur RK, Prabhu V, Sandhu AP, Nagi ON.
    Journal: Contemp Orthop; 1994 Aug; 29(2):127-32. PubMed ID: 10150242.
    Abstract:
    Seven cases of Ewing's sarcoma presenting with primary lesions of the foot bones are described. Difficulty and delay in making the initial diagnosis are the hallmarks of the problems encountered at this site. Although radiation therapy plays an important role for control of disease in Ewing's sarcoma, surgery along with chemotherapy appears to give better results. Lesions of the forefoot are amenable to surgery; however, no guidelines are available in the literature for hindfoot lesions. Chemotherapy has revolutionized the outcome, and its use along with surgical intervention is recommended in all cases of Ewing's sarcoma of foot bones.
