Ewing's sarcoma arising primarily in the spinal epidural space: fifth case report.

Ewing's sarcoma is found exceptionally as a primary epidural tumor of the spine. Four cases have been described in the literature. We describe the fifth case: a 10-year-old boy who underwent operation followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For 1 year he then had a complete remission with no local recurrence and his neurological condition was satisfactory, although metastases developed later. Comparison with the cases described previously shows all five to possess interesting features in common.

Prognostic significance of lymphoid infiltration in cerebral malignant gliomas.

Data concerning a study on lymphoid infiltration in 61 cerebral malignant gliomas are reported. Lymphoid cellular infiltrates were found in 28 cases (45.9%): 8 (13.1%) with marked and 20 (32.8%) with slight infiltration; the remaining 33 cases (54.1%) did not exhibit lymphoid infiltration. The mean survival time (+/- standard deviation) of patients harboring gliomas with marked lymphoid infiltration was 20.5 (+/-19.9) months, and that of patients with slight lymphoid infiltration in their glioma was 10.3 (+/- 7.5) months; those patients having gliomas without lymphoid cellular infiltrates showed a mean survival time (+/- standard deviation) of 7.2 (+/-6.1) months.

Primary lymphoma of the cranial vault.

An exceptional case of a large intracranial extradural lymphoma arising from the skull and causing intracranial hypertension syndrome, in the absence of other localizations elsewhere in the body is described. Only another similar observation was reported in the literature. The diagnosis of this exceptional localization of lymphomas, which can mimic other intracranial tumors, is discussed on the basis of the computer-tomography findings and the usefulness of the radiotherapy is pointed out.
