Ewing's sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that affects bones or the tissue around bones (soft tissue). It usually affects children and young adults. Symptoms of Ewing's sarcoma include bone pain, swelling, and fatigue.

Symptoms of Ewing's Sarcoma

Ewing's sarcoma may cause a variety of symptoms, including:

* Bone pain: This is the most common symptom of Ewing's sarcoma. The pain may be dull and aching, or it may be sharp and severe. It can occur at any time, but it's usually worse at night or when the affected area is moved.

* Swelling: Swelling of the affected area may be present.

* Fatigue: Fatigue is a common symptom of cancer and may be more pronounced with Ewing's sarcoma.

* Fever: A fever may be present, which is usually a sign of infection.

* Weight loss: Unexplained weight loss can be a symptom of Ewing's sarcoma.

* Difficulty breathing: Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing can occur if the tumor is pressing on the lungs.

* Limping: If the tumor is in the leg or foot, limping may occur.

If you or your child experiences any of the above symptoms, it is important to see a doctor right away for a proper diagnosis.

Ewing's sarcoma is a rare form of cancer that affects bones or the tissue around bones, typically occurring in children and young adults. Symptoms may include bone and joint pain, fever, fatigue, weight loss, and swelling or tenderness around a bone. If in soft tissue, a lump may be visible. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy and radiation. Surgery may also be used to remove the tumor. Prognosis depends on the stage of disease, but with timely diagnosis and treatment, the survival rate is high.

Ewing's sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that mainly affects children and young adults. It develops in the bones or in the soft tissue around the bones, such as cartilage or the tissue that covers muscle. In rare cases, it can also develop in other parts of the body.

Symptoms of Ewing's sarcoma may vary depending on where the tumor is located. Common symptoms include bone pain, swelling or tenderness around the area of the tumor, and difficulty moving the affected area. Other symptoms may include fever, fatigue, weight loss, and anemia. If the tumor is located near a nerve, numbness or tingling may be experienced.

Diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma is usually based on a physical exam, imaging tests, and a biopsy. Treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. The prognosis varies depending on the size and location of the tumor, as well as other factors. With early diagnosis and treatment, the outlook for patients with Ewing's sarcoma is generally good.
