Abstract

Primary skeletal Ewing's sarcoma that occured in two teenage patients with Down syndrome are reported. Cytogenetic analysis of one of these tumors showed the 11:22 translocation characteristic of Ewing's sarcoma as well as other complex karyotypic changes. The possible role of constitutional trisomy 21 in development of these sarcomas is discussed.
