Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are a group of highly malignant small round cell tumor (SRCT) of neuroectodermal origin. They exhibit a great diversity in their clinical manifestations and pathologic similarities with other SRCTs. PNET commonly occurs in the central nervous system, head and neck region, paravertebral region, pelvis, and lower extremities. PNET presenting as a presacral mass is very rare. We present a case of 65-year-old female patient presented with a mass in the abdomen. Exploratory laparotomy with excision of mass was carried out. Histopathology revealed the diagnosis of PNET. The rarity of PNET at presacral region prompted the description of this case.
原始神经外胚层肿瘤(PNETs)是一组起源于神经外胚层的高度恶性小圆细胞肿瘤(SRCT)。它们在临床表现上具有很大的多样性,并且在病理上与其他SRCT相似。PNET常见于中枢神经系统、头颈部区域、椎旁区域、骨盆和下肢。表现为骶前肿块的PNET非常罕见。我们报告一例65岁女性患者,其腹部出现肿块。进行了剖腹探查并切除肿块。组织病理学检查确诊为PNET。骶前区域PNET的罕见性促使我们对该病例进行描述。
