    Correct answer:

    Ewing sarcoma.

    A malignant tumor that usually presents between 10 and 20 years of age; men are affected more often. It's caused by a translocation between chromosomes 11 and 22. Most commonly, the pelvis or femur is affected, although other parts like the tibia or humerus can be involved too.
