Objective: To describe the multimodality imaging features, metastatic pattern and clinical outcome in adult extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES).Methods: In this institutional reviewboard-approved, health insurance portability and accountability act-compliant retrospective study, we included 26 patients (17 females and 9 males; mean age, 36 years; range, 18-85 years) with pathologically confirmed EES seen at our institute between 1999 and 2011, who had imaging of primary tumour. Imaging of primary tumour in all 26 patients and follow-up imaging in 23 was reviewed by two radiologists in consensus. Clinical data were extracted from electronic medical records.Results: The most common primary sites were the torso (n = 13), extremities (n = 10) and head and neck (HN) region (n = 3). The mean tumour size was 9 cm (range, 3-22 cm); tumours of the torso were larger than those of other areas (p > 0.05). Compared with the skeletal muscle, tumours were isodense on CT (21/21), hypointense (n = 5) to isointense (n = 14) on T-1 weighted image, hyperintense on T-2 weighted image (19/19) and were fluorine-18 fludeoxyglucose (F-18-FDG)-avid [10/10; mean maximum standardized uptake value of 7 (range, 3-11)]. Necrosis (15/26), haemorrhage (5/26) and adjacent organ invasion (14/26) were present without calcification. Median follow-up was 16 months. 5 patients had local recurrence (torso, 3; extremity, 1; and HN, 1). Metastases developed in 11 patients (torso, 7; extremities, 3; and HN, 1;p > 0.05); 8 at presentation, most commonly to lung (9/11), peritoneum (4/11), muscles (4/11) and lymph nodes (4/11). Nine patients (torso, 7; extremity, 1; and HN, 1) died (10 months median survival) (p > 0.05).Conclusion: Adult EESs are large tumours, which frequently invade adjacent organs and metastasize to the lung. EESs of the torso are larger, have more frequent metastases and poorer outcomes.Advances in knowledge: Adult EESs of the torso have poor outcomes compared with other EESs.
