Symptoms of Ewing Sarcoma in Children

Ewing sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in children and young adults. It is usually found in the bones or soft tissue and can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms of Ewing sarcoma in children may vary depending on the location of the tumor, but some of the most common signs and symptoms include:

Pain: Pain is often the first symptom of Ewing sarcoma and can range from mild to severe. It may worsen with activity and may be more noticeable at night.

Swelling: Swelling or a lump may develop near the tumor site. The lump may be located near a bone or in the soft tissue.

Fever: A fever may be present, especially in young children.

Fatigue: Fatigue is a common symptom, especially in older children.

Weight Loss: Unexplained weight loss is another symptom of Ewing sarcoma in children.

Night Sweats: Night sweats may occur in some cases.

Limping: Limping may occur if the tumor is located in the bone.

If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to speak to your doctor as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to improving the prognosis of Ewing sarcoma in children.
