Abstract

JAMES EWING (1922) selected a small-celled non-osteogenic tumour of bone with a ńumber of clinical features, including slow growth rate, and classified it as an endothelial myeloma or diffuse endothelioma of bone. All the patients in his series were under 20 years old and in 7 of the 10 cases the long bones of limbs were affected. PARKER and JACKSON (1939) described a somewhat similar tumour occurring mainly in adults, called it reticulum cell sarcoma of bone, and noted that, in contrast with EWING’s cases, it appeared to have a good prognosis.
