Abstract Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) of the central nervous system are uncommon embryonal neoplasms, rarely occurring in adults. Differentiation into specific mesenchymal tissues, such as cartilage, bone, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, or adipose tissue, is rare. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with a PNET of cerebrum that showed extensive mature adipose tissue differentiation. This is the second case, to our knowledge, of PNET of cerebrum with adipose tissue elements that has been described.

✓ A series of 18 primitive neuroectodermal tumors in children (15 cerebral and three spinal) is reported. These are highly malignant neoplasms, both histologically and clinically. They are rapidly growing tumors, with a brief duration of symptoms and a rapidly progressive course. Forty percent of the patients were alive at 6 months, only 10% at 1 year, and all patients had died within 2 years following diagnosis.
