Primitive Neuro-Ectodermal-Tumours (PNET) and Ewing's sarcoma are part of the spectrum of Ewing's Family of Tumours (EFT) and show varying degrees of neuroectodermal differentiation. Both these tumours share similar histological and genetic features. PNETs arising primarily in the lungs without pleural or chest wall involvement are extremely rare. We report a case of pulmonary PNET in an eight-year-old girl. To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest case of primary pulmonary PNET to be reported in paediatric age group in the Indian literature.
原始神经外胚层肿瘤(PNET)和尤因肉瘤是尤因肿瘤家族(EFT)的一部分,表现出不同程度的神经外胚层分化。这两种肿瘤具有相似的组织学和遗传学特征。主要发生于肺且无胸膜或胸壁受累的PNET极其罕见。我们报告一例8岁女孩的肺PNET病例。据我们所知,这是印度文献中报道的儿科年龄组中最年轻的原发性肺PNET病例。
