Abstract Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor is classically a tumor of the soft tissue or bone in children and young adults, but several cases have been described in patients of all ages. Within the last decade, the clinicopathologic spectrum of Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor has been markedly expanded by recognition that the tumor may also have a visceral origin. We describe a case of primitive neuroectodermal tumor arising in the stomach of a 66-year-old woman. The neoplasm was excised using a radical surgical procedure. Microscopically, the tumor was made up of solid nests and sheets of round cells. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed immunoreactivity for CD99, S100, neuron-specific enolase, and vimentin. A multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction assay detected an EWS-ERG fusion. To our knowledge, this is the first description of a primitive neuroectodermal tumor arising in the stomach.

Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a highly aggressive tumor and mostly develops in children and young adults. PNETs of peripheral nerves are uncommon. Ulnar nerve, in particular, is an extremely peculiar origin for PNET and to the best of our knowledge only few well-documented cases have been yet reported.

Introduction. Primitive neuroectodermal tumor or Ewing?s sarcoma is a tumor of undifferentiated small round cells that arise from the soft tissues, and is believed to be of neural origin. It occurs most often in children, followed by adolescents and young adults. Case Outline. A case of a 24-year-old patient with ulcerostenosans Ewing?s sarcoma of the initial part of the small intestine is presented in our paper. Reviewing the literature and using as an example the case of a female patient with signs of sideropenic anemia caused by primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the small intestine, an attempt was made to clarify the etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and therapy with the aim of its rapid detection and treatment. Conclusion. Mesenteric primitive neuroectodermal tumor is a rare neoplasm in adults, while it usually occurs in children and young adults. Surgical resection of the lesions with the application of chemotherapy is the main form of treatment of patients suffering from this disease.

Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the kidney is a rare and aggressive tumor, often presenting in advanced stages and progressing rapidly. Renal PNET (rPNET) may affect a wide age spectrum, but the majority of cases are in young adults. We present a case of advanced rPNET in a 78-year-old woman. To our knowledge, this is the most advanced age of presentation of this neoplasm to date. We report on her presentation and management, and discuss the current clinical management of this tumor.

A care of recurrent Askin`s tumor is presented occurring in a 13 year old boy. Askin’s tumor is a rare primitive neuroectodermal tumor of chest wall and belong to Ewing family of soft tissue sarcoma. It is extremely malignant with a high frequency of both metastatic spread and local recurrence. Multi-drug chemotherapy as well as local disease control with surgery and / or radiation is indicated in the treatment of all patients

Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) belongs to the PNET/Ewing's sarcoma family. PNET is a small round cell tumor of putative neuroectoderm origin and is the second most common sarcoma among children and young adults. It may occur anywhere in the body and within any age group; however, it is most likely to occur in the bone and soft tissues. There have been a small number of case reports of PNET arising in the ovary. We presented a case of PNET arising in the right ovary of an 18-year-old woman. The tumor was metastased to the lymph nodes of the pelvis and para-aorta at surgical staging. We had persecuted Taxol/carboplatin chemotherapy, pelvic cavity radiotherapy, and Vincristine/Actinomycink, Cyclophosphamide/Doxorubicin (VACA). She died after 10 months due to septic shock.
