Answer by Denisedds
Osteosarcoma is cancer of mesenchymal origin which occurs in the bones. Ewing's Sarcoma is a round-cell tumor that can arise in soft tissue or the bone, usually in the bones and in children.
Answer by hey
Osteosarcomas are more common, the 6th most common in children, and occur when the osteoblasts that cause cell growth divide too quickly. They occur in hard bone, most commonly in the legs or shoulders. Ewings sarcomas are more rare and occur in the soft tissue of bone cells.
