. Our patient's initial biopsy of the right fibula was diagnosed as Ewing's sarcoma and surgical amputation was suggested as the treatment of choice. After he refused, he was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient refused to continue this type of therapy after a 6 weeks' regimen. The supraorbital swelling occurred 3 years later and the biopsy of it also revealed Ewing's sarcoma, as did the mandibular specimen. The patient, again, refused any further treatment.
