The most common symptoms of Ewing's sarcoma include localized bone pain, swelling, [[fever]], [[loss of appetite]], and [[weight loss]]. The affected bone is not as strong as normal bones and may fracture with minor trauma (a pathological fracture).

One of the first noticeable symptoms is [[pain]]. Since Ewing's sarcomas typically progress very rapidly, the pain can escalate from mild to intense in a very short period of time. If the [[tumor]] turns out to be in the spinal or pelvic region, it can cause [[paresthesia]].<ref name="pmid17272319">{{cite journal |author=Iwamoto Y |title=Diagnosis and treatment of Ewing's sarcoma |journal=[[Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology]] |volume=37 |issue=2 |pages=79–89 |year=2007 |month=February |pmid=17272319 |doi=10.1093/jjco/hyl142 |url=http://jjco.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=17272319 |accessdate=2011-12-21}}</ref> Once the tumor begins to grow, it is usually accompanied by [[swelling]] of the local area. This swelling tends to be elastic, tense, tender, hard, rapidly increasing, and accompanied by local heat.<ref name="pmid17272319">{{cite journal |author=Iwamoto Y |title=Diagnosis and treatment of Ewing's sarcoma |journal=[[Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology]] |volume=37 |issue=2 |pages=79–89 |year=2007 |month=February |pmid=17272319 |doi=10.1093/jjco/hyl142 |url=http://jjco.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=17272319 |accessdate=2011-12-21}}</ref> Although the tumor can be palpable in some cases due to swelling, there are cases in which the [[tumor]] may not be noticed for a long period of time. Some tumors such as tumors of the [[spine]], pelvic region, or [[femur]] are much deeper and may not cause noticeable swelling at the surface. Also, if the tumor extends along the [[medullary canal]] of long bones without expanding out further into the [[cortex]], it would be difficult to detect.<ref name="pmid17272319">{{cite journal |author=Iwamoto Y |title=Diagnosis and treatment of Ewing's sarcoma |journal=[[Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology]] |volume=37 |issue=2 |pages=79–89 |year=2007 |month=February |pmid=17272319 |doi=10.1093/jjco/hyl142 |url=http://jjco.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=17272319 |accessdate=2011-12-21}}</ref>
