Paraspinal primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) of the chest
Abstract
Primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNETs) are tumours from pluripotent
neural crest cells1-5 and may occur in the central or peripheral nervous system.4 PNET must be distinguished from other small round cell tumours like Ewing's sarcoma (ES), extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma, neuroblastoma, lymphoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and small-cell carcinoma. 3,4,6,7 Although it can occur at any age, PNET occurs more frequently
in adolescents and young adults,2,3,6 with a median age of 17 years.
