โฆ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) shares histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular findings with ES of bone. The authors' goal in conducting this study was to examine the cytomorphologic features of EES. In addition, immunocytostaining for CD99/O13 was performed in all cases, and cytogenetic and molecular data were available in about half of the cases.
