Abstract

A rare case of Ewing's sarcoma of the toe bone is described and compared with three reported cases of phalangeal Ewing's sarcoma. The lesion in two cases was initially treated as infection and the diagnosis was delayed for several months. Roentgenographic and aspiration cytology examinations in cases with clinically unresolving infection of the hands and feet may prevent delayed diagnosis. Radical surgery alone may be curative if no metastases are found preoperatively in careful clinical investigations.
