An analysis of the data on radiodiagnosis of malignancies of pelvic bones in 50 patients, aged 10-15, is presented. Diagnosis was morphologically confirmed in all the cases: Ewing's sarcoma (41)--82%, primitive neuroectodermal tumor (6)--12% and chondrosarcoma (3)--6%. The leading clinical syndrome was pain in the loin. The significantly most frequent site was the iliac bone. X-ray imaging of tumor site and adjacent areas using standard direct, lateral and oblique projections, ultrasonography, X-ray contrast tomography, radioisotope examination, puncture and open biopsy (when indicated) proved useful.
