Abstract
A rare case of Ewing's sarcoma metastatic to the cerebellum is presented. Neurosurgical intervention was required which played a significant role in the treatment of this patient. The incidence and treatment of central nervous system involvement from Ewing's sarcoma is reviewed and discussed.
