Primitive neuroectodermal tumour of chest wall has been given the name Askin tumour after FB Askin who first reported this distinctive clinicopathologic entity in 1979. Most of the patients are either children or adolescents, however, rarely it may affect older patients. This case report emphasizes on the diagnostic approach to this rare tumour and underlines the importance of keeping it in the differential diagnosis even in elderly patients. Since it is an aggressive tumour, a high index of suspicion is required to make a timely diagnosis.
胸壁原始神经外胚层肿瘤是以FB·阿斯金（FB Askin）的名字命名的，他于1979年首次报道了这种独特的临床病理实体。大多数患者是儿童或青少年，然而，它很少会影响老年患者。本病例报告强调了对这种罕见肿瘤的诊断方法，并强调即使在老年患者中，也应将其列入鉴别诊断的重要性。由于它是一种侵袭性肿瘤，需要高度怀疑才能及时做出诊断。
