Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the kidney is rare. Mostly patients with renal PNET are young adults and the survival rates are poor. Although radiological and pathological investigations, differential diagnosis from other kidney tumours is very difficult. The treatment is often delayed because of difficulties with diagnosis. In most cases of renal PNET, as in this case, prognosis is poor. Particularly, in young adults with large renal masses, it must be diagnosed and treatment should be started immediately.
肾原始神经外胚层肿瘤(PNET)很罕见。大多数肾PNET患者为年轻成年人,生存率较低。尽管进行了放射学和病理学检查,但与其他肾肿瘤进行鉴别诊断非常困难。由于诊断困难,治疗往往会延迟。在大多数肾PNET病例中,如此例一样,预后很差。特别是对于有巨大肾肿块的年轻成年人,必须进行诊断并立即开始治疗。
