Abstract
A 21-year-old male Army basic trainee was evaluated in a direct-access physical therapy clinic for left-sided low back pain. Following examination, radiographs and a bone scan were ordered. The findings prompted referral for a computed tomography scan of the pelvis, which characterized an infiltrative soft tissue mass. The therapist immediately contacted an orthopaedic surgeon, who recommended that the physical therapist order immediate magnetic resonance imaging (STAT MRI). The patient underwent a tissue biopsy and subsequently was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(5):276. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9109.
