MRI (T1 weighted, after Gadolinium injection): parasagittal, polylobulated mass with broad base on the dura; intense contrast enhancement is present (Case 1).

MRI (T1 weighted, after Gadolinum injection): a right parietal, parasagittal mass, strongly and diffusely enhancing after Gadolinum injection (Case 2). Dural "tails" are present, suggesting the preoperative diagnosis of meningioma.

Case 2: low power microscopic view, showing sheets of monotonous small round cells (A). High power microscopic view, highlighting an area of necrosis and several mitotic figures (B). The tumor cells display a diffuse, strong, membrane expression of CD99 (C). FISH with EWS centromere/EWS telomere probe set of Case 2. Split signals indicate EWS region rearrangement (D).
