Incremental value of 18F-FDG PET/CT over conventional imaging in the initial staging of pediatric Ewing sarcoma

Conclusions: 18F-FDG PET/CT performed better than conventional imaging in disease localization at primary and metastatic sites. Since, accurate initial staging is of paramount importance in terms of deciding further management and in prognostication, 18F-FDG PET/CT should be considered among the primary investigative modality in the pediatric patients with Ewing sarcoma wherever a high suspicion of metastatic disease exists.
