Abstract
James Ewing (1922) selected a small-celled non-osteogenic tumour of bone with a number 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 twenty years old and in seven of the ten cases the long bones of limbs were affected. Parker and Jackson (1939) described a somewhat similar tumour occuring 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.
