Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNETs) are rare and highly malignant tumours in the spine, with a predilection for young adults. There are no standard guidelines for treating these tumours. Surgical resection combined with postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy is a common and effective treatment at present. Even so, survival time of patients with these tumours is still very short. In this study, we present three rare cases of thoracic epidural PNETs and review the literature.
外周原始神经外胚层肿瘤（PNET）是一种罕见的、高度恶性的脊柱肿瘤，好发于年轻人。目前对于此类肿瘤尚无标准的治疗指南。手术切除联合术后放化疗是目前常用且有效的治疗方法。即便如此，此类肿瘤患者的生存时间仍非常短。本研究报告了 3 例罕见的胸椎管内 PNET，并对文献进行了复习。
