Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a relatively uncommon primary tumor of the soft tissues, which accounts for 20-30% of all reported cases of ES. Being uncommon, all members of the ES family tumors are treated following the same general protocol of sarcoma tumors. The present review summarizes the diagnosis, management and prognosis of EES, focusing on the differences between the subtypes of ESS. The clinical features and imaging of EES are also discussed. Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice for diagnostic imaging and local staging, while core-needle biopsy with pathological testing is used to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Although several oncology groups endorse that ES family of tumors should be treated with similar algorithm and protocols, some studies have demonstrated that surgery and radiotherapy may be used as a form of local control. However, further studies are required to conclude the optimum treatment option for EES.

Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a rare and aggressive malignancy originating in soft tissues, distinct from osseous Ewing sarcoma. It commonly affects adolescents and young adults but can occur at any age. Due to its rarity and overlapping clinical features with other malignancies, EES poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Background: Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma (EES) is a rare tumor, and there is currently no predictive model for overall survival of EES patients. This study sought to use data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to develop a clinical predictive model that could be used to assess the prognosis of EES patients.
Methods: We selected and downloaded prognostic data on 356 patients diagnosed with extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma based on screening criteria, These patients were distributed between 2004 and 2015.

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma and other soft tissue sarcomas (STS) with high-risk features are still associated with an unsatisfactory outcome. We evaluated the efficacy of oral maintenance therapy added at the end of standard therapy in patients with high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma and STS.
Methods: CWS-2007-HR was a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled, phase 3 trial done at 87 centers in 5 countries.
