Abstract

Ewing’s sarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of bone marrow and its exact nature is unknown. It arises in the middle of a long bone and may produce metastases in other bones and lymph glands [1]. A 35 year old male presented with Ewing’s sarcoma of the left clavicle that had metastasized to his cervical and thoracic spine. He had spinal cord compression for 5 years and had been treated for this condition. This case report covers his clinical history and management. The aetiology, epidemiology, radiographic appearances and clinical presentation of this disease are discussed [1-9].
