AbstractPrimitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) are very rare tumors that belong to a family of malignant neoplasms of tiny round cells which are derived from the neural crest. This report discusses a rare case of an adult woman with esophageal PNET, confirmed by immunohistochemistry, that presented with metastasis to the pineal gland. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a PNET with these features. Despite surgery and chemotherapeutic treatment, our case has shown disease progression.

Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors (PNET) and Ewing Sarcoma (EWS) belong to the same family of malignant, small, round cell neoplasms of soft tissue or bone origin. Common locations for EWS-PNET include chest wall, pelvis, and extremities. EWSPNETs that arise in the lung parenchyma without chest wall involvement are extremely rare in adults. We report a case of EWS-PNET of the lung in an adult and review the distinct clinical, pathological, and molecular features of these tumors.

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are presented as rare malignant neoplasms. In unusual cases, those neoplasms may arise in solid organs containing neuroendocrine cells, such as the pancreas. Herein the case of a 28-year-old patient that underwent gastroduodenopancreatectomy after the diagnosis of a huge mass (PNET) located in both head and body of the pancreas is reported. This is the 19th case of pancreatic PNET reported in literature.

AbstractExtraneural metastases of supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) are very rare and have been reported in only sporadic cases. We present a patient with supratentorial PNET metastasizing to the lung, diagnosed 4 months after cerebral surgery.

AbstractAtypical rhabdoid teratoid tumors (ARTTs) are rare embryonic tumors, usually localized in the posterior fossa and diagnosed in children under 3 years-old. The treatment includes surgical resection, radio and chemotherapy, and the prognostic is unfavorable, with an average median survival of 1 year. We present the case of a 3-year-old patient, with history of headache and vomiting, followed by absence seizures, temporal automatism, syncope accompanied by sialorrhea and sphincteric loss succeeded by a postictal period. Surgical excision was performed and the anatomopathological study confirmed ARTT. The ARTTs are embryonic tumors, a category in which medulloblastoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) represent the most common central nervous system (CNS) malignancies in childhood.
