Summary

The results indicate that Ewing's tumors are derived from a primitive, pluripotential cell that may differentiate, in variable proportions, into cells with mesenchymal, epithelial, and, more rarely, even neural features, suggesting that this tumor should be regarded as a blastoma, rather than as a true sarcoma.
