What is Ewing's Sarcoma Family of Tumors? (sarcomahelp.org)
While the origin of these tumors is still not definitively known, the two theories with the most support suggest that these tumors arise from a primitive cell derived either from an embryologic tissue called the neural crest, or from resident cells in the body (called mesenchymal stem cells) that have a capability to become one of a variety of tissue types.
