Ewing's sarcoma usually arises in the bones of children and adolescents. We herein report a 74-year-old man with Ewing's sarcoma in the adrenal gland. The diagnosis was confirmed by a genetic test, pathological studies, and several imaging studies. He already had multiple liver metastases when he was transferred to our hospital and died on the 37th day. The diagnosis was further confirmed by autopsy studies. Adrenal Ewing's sarcoma is very rare, and our patient was older than other reported cases. Ewing's sarcoma should be considered even in elderly patients with adrenal tumors.

Background: The role of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of renal malignancies is established and has been getting more precise and important over a period of time. Knowledge of the pathology of uncommon renal neoplasms along with radiological and clinical correlations often aids in correct diagnosis.
Aims: The present study aims to describe the cytomorphological and immunohistochemical findings in the varied spectrum of renal tumors, other than renal cell carcinomas (RCC).

Background Managing primary bone and soft tissue sarcomas in pediatric patients poses significant challenges, with surgical resection remaining essential for cure. While limb salvage surgery has emerged as the standard approach, concerns persist regarding post-operative complications. Our study aims to evaluate the 30-day morbidity and mortality of limb salvage surgery in pediatric tumor patients, bridging critical knowledge gaps and contributing to enhancing the standard of care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Trends in diagnostic biopsy sample collection approaches for primary bone sarcomas have shifted in the past 2 decades. Although open/incisional biopsies used to be the predominant approach to obtain diagnostic material for Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, image-guided core needle biopsies have increased in frequency and are safe for patients. These procedures are less invasive and reduce recovery times but have potential limitations.

Introduction: The odds of metastatic disease at diagnosis of bone (BS) and soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) of the extremities and pelvis may vary among patients due to several factors. There is limited research comparing the rates of metastatic disease at diagnosis in patients from different demographic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Methods: Patients with a primary BS or STS of the extremity or pelvis were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes.
