Askin tumour is a form of primitive neuroectodermal tumour arising from the thoracopulmonary region. The patient being reported is a young adult who initially presented in dyspnoea and was found to have hemothorax following chest wall injury. About one year later, he again presented in dyspnoea. But this time he was found to have a mass arising from the previous traumatic site, which was diagnosed as Askin tumour. Such a scenario of Askin tumour arising from a traumatic site is uncommon. Moreover, Askin tumour itself is a rare presentation in adults.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(3) 2017 84-86

We illustrate the principle of conformal radiotherapy by discussing the case of a patient with a primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the chest wall. Recent advances in radiotherapy planning enable precise localization of the planning target volume (PTV) and normal organs at risk of irradiation. Customized blocks are subsequently designed to produce a treatment field that ‘conforms’ to the PTV. The use of conformal radiotherapy (CRT) in this case facilitated the delivery of concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy by significantly reducing the volume of red marrow irradiated.The lack of acute and late toxicities was attributed to optimal exclusion of normal tissues from the treatment field, made possible by CRT.

Primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) is a rare mediastinal tumour which may infiltrate pulmonary parenchyma and chest wall. Histopathologically, it is a round cell tumour, and on immunohistochemistry, tumour cells express for CD – 99 (MIC – 2). Here we report a rare case of PNET presented as unresectable mediastinal tumour with chest wall infiltration, superior vena caval obstruction and Horner’s syndrome in an adolescent female.
