Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are aggressive, poorly differentiated tumors in children and young adults. However, the embryonal tumor group did not include the central nervous system (CNS) PNET title and ependymoblastoma subtitle in the 2016 World Health Organization CNS tumor classification. Here, we report the case of a 6-year-old boy with a sellar embryonal tumor and present a review of the related literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of an endoscopically operated sellar embryonal tumor in the pediatric age group.
原始神经外胚层肿瘤（PNETs）是儿童和青年中侵袭性强、分化差的肿瘤。然而，在2016年世界卫生组织中枢神经系统肿瘤分类中，胚胎性肿瘤组未包括中枢神经系统（CNS）PNET标题和室管膜母细胞瘤副标题。在此，我们报告一例6岁患有鞍区胚胎性肿瘤的男孩病例，并对相关文献进行综述。据我们所知，这是小儿年龄组中首例经内镜手术的鞍区胚胎性肿瘤病例。
