ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the imaging findings of Ewing’s sarcoma in ilium,pubis,and ischium,and to improve the diagnostic veracity.Methods The imaging manifestations of 1 5 patients with pathologically proved Ewing’s sarcoma in ilium,pubis or ischium were retrospectively analyzed.All the 1 5 patients were underwent X-ray examination.Among them,12 cases performed CT examination and 1 1 cases performed MRI examination.Results In all the 1 5 Ewing’s sarcoma patients,8 lesions located at the iliac.7 lesions located at the pubic and ischial.12 cases showed simple osteolytic bone destruction on X-ray images,3 cases showed mixed bone destruction.All the 1 5 cases showed soft-tissue mass around the lesion.On CT images,7 cases showed swelling in the periphery of the lesion areas and internal osteolytic bone destruction,5 cases showed irregular oateomas,hyperosteogeny or osteo-sclerosis surrounding bone destruction areas,6 cases showed irregular periosteal reactionsurrounding the lesion areas,12 cases showed soft-tissue mass surrounding the lesion areas.On MRI,7 cases showed long T1 and long T2 signal,4 caese showd T1 low and T2 heterogeneous high signal,5 cases showed high signal in the fat suppression sequences.All the 1 1 cases who underwent MRI examination showed bone destruction and soft tissue mass on MRI.Conclusion Although rare,Ewing’s sarcomas of the ilium,pu-bis,and ischium have some certain image features.X-ray,CT and MRI examinations play an important role in the diagnosis and dif-ferent diagnosis of these conditions.
