Primary Renal Ewing Sarcoma in Children and Young Adults

Abstract: The Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) are high-grade small round blue cell malignancies traditionally presenting in children and adolescents. The most common site of primary disease is bone, though extraskeletal primary sites are well-recognized. 1 We present six cases of primary ESFT of the kidney and one case of the adrenal gland. Patients were 11-18 years of age at diagnosis. Metastases at diagnosis were present in most cases (n=6). All patients underwent surgery, and most received radiation (n=5). Five… Show more

“…The Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) is a collection of small, rounded tumor cells that have similar neural histological and genetic characteristics [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. ESFT is categorized into four types based on the origin of the tumor: Ewing sarcoma of the bone, peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET), Askin tumor, which originates from the chest wall, and, finally, the extraosseous or extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES).…”

“…Ewing sarcoma ranks second in the incidence of primary malignant bone tumors among children and adolescents, and its proportion in primary bone tumors is 6% to 8% [1]. After traditional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, most patients will die within 2 years, and the five-year survival rate is under 10% [2,3]. After IGF-1R is activated and overexpressed in Ewing sarcoma, it may have a synergistic effect on the fusion gene EWS-FLI1, thus driving the occurrence of Ewing sarcoma [4,6].…”

“…The current primary treatments for Ewing sarcoma are surgery alone, radiotherapy, and single-agent chemotherapy [2]. However, none of the treatments have favorable outcomes, and most patients will die within 2 years, with 5-year survival rates of no more than 10% [3]. Therefore, there is a need to develop more effective treatment strategies for Ewing sarcoma.…”

“…Traditional therapy methods for Ewing sarcoma, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, are hard to reach notably satisfactory results [4]. The ve-year survival rate for patients is less than 10 percent, and most patients are prone to dying within two years [5]. We should focus on nding interesting therapeutic strategies for Ewing sarcoma.…”
