[Primary reticulum-cell sarcoma (Parker-Jackson sarcoma) of the rib. Report of a case with a five-year survival after surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy (author's transl)].

A case of primary reticulum-cell sarcoma of the rib is reported. This rare tumor arose in an unusual site and was revealed by an exceptional clinical picture. Extensive hemothorax was the initial manifestation. Follow-up exceeds five years. Prognosis is not as poor for reticulum-cell sarcoma as for Ewing sarcoma. After radical surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the five-year total remission rate approximates 50%.
