Overview

Ewing's sarcoma must be differentiated from osteosarcoma, hematological malignancy, eosinophilic granuloma, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma.[1]

Differentiating Ewing's sarcoma from other diseases

Ewing's sarcoma must be differentiated from:[1]

  • ALP is not elevated in Ewing sarcoma.
  • Ewing sarcoma tends to arise from the diaphysis whereas in osteosarcoma it tends to arise from the metaphysis.
  • Osteomyelitis
  • Hematological malignancy
