The clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of 10 patients with documented malignant small-cell tumor of the thoracopulmonary region (Askin tumor) were reviewed. The tumor represents a distinct pathologic entity of neuroectodermal origin. Clinically, it presents as a chest-wall mass with or without pain. Its radiographic appearance is that of a soft-tissue mass with or without pleural or rib involvement, often with metastatic disease--to the skeletal system, bone marrow, thorax, and sympathetic chain. Two patients developed metastases to the adrenal gland and liver, one after autologous bone marrow transplantation. The radiologist should be aware of this entity and its pattern of metastatic spread since metastases are treated aggressively.
回顾了10例有记录的胸肺区域恶性小细胞肿瘤（阿斯金瘤）患者的临床、影像学和病理特征。该肿瘤代表一种独特的神经外胚层起源的病理实体。临床上，它表现为有或无疼痛的胸壁肿块。其影像学表现为有或无胸膜或肋骨受累的软组织肿块，常伴有转移至骨骼系统、骨髓、胸部和交感神经链。两名患者发生肾上腺和肝脏转移，其中一名是在自体骨髓移植后。放射科医生应了解这种实体及其转移扩散模式，因为对转移灶需积极治疗。
