The case report by Meazza et al describes the rapidly fatal outcome of a child born with a congenital peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET). The case report prompted us to ask several questions. (1) Is there such an entity as congenital pPNET? (2) Do translocation-negative Ewing sarcoma family tumors (ESFT) exist? (3) What is the outcome for newborns with congenital ESFT and how does this affect treatment options?
梅亚扎等人的病例报告描述了一名患有先天性外周原始神经外胚层肿瘤(pPNET)的儿童迅速死亡的结局。该病例报告促使我们提出几个问题。(1)是否存在先天性pPNET这样的实体?(2)是否存在无易位的尤因肉瘤家族肿瘤(ESFT)?(3)先天性ESFT新生儿的预后如何,这对治疗选择有何影响?
