Ewing sarcoma makes up 14% of all bone sarcoma diagnoses.
It most commonly affects teenagers and young adults with the pelvis, thigh bone and shin bone being the most commonly affected areas.
In rare cases, Ewing sarcoma can develop in the soft tissue around the bone. This is called soft tissue Ewing sarcoma, or extraosseous Ewing sarcoma.
