Ewing's sarcoma of the spinal epidural space: report of two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two new cases of primary extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma of the spinal epidural space, and their histogenesis and differential diagnosis are described.

With these two cases, 43 extraosseous Ewing's sarcomas have been reported to date, seven of which were epidural in location.
