Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) represent malignant neuroectodermal tumors composed of small round cells. They can be differentiated between originating from the peripheral nervous system or the central nervous system. Peripheral PNET (pPNET) can be further subclassified as one of the Ewing family tumors (EFT). Although rare, EFT can originate in the female genital tract and pelvic region. Here, we present a case of a middle-aged female with PNET masses in her uterus, abdomen, and hepatic lobes. We discuss the diagnostic modalities, including immunohistochemistry, histopathology, and imaging findings associated with this rare malignancy.
原始神经外胚层肿瘤(PNET)是由小圆形细胞组成的恶性神经外胚层肿瘤。它们可区分为起源于周围神经系统或中枢神经系统。周围型PNET(pPNET)可进一步归类为尤因家族肿瘤(EFT)之一。尽管罕见,但EFT可起源于女性生殖道和盆腔区域。在此,我们报告一例中年女性,其子宫、腹部和肝叶存在PNET肿块。我们讨论了诊断方法,包括免疫组织化学、组织病理学以及与这种罕见恶性肿瘤相关的影像学表现。
