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.

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) 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.

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.

Systemic lymphangiomatosis is a rare disease characterized by the exageration of lymphatic channel proliferation, occurring in children and young adults. We describe an extremely rare case of congenital systemic lymphangiomatosis in a newborn who had ascitis and respiratory failure develop immediately after delivery. Death occurred during the first hour of life. Autopsy findings showed numerous cysts in soft tissues of the cervical area, mediastinum and diaphragm, and several other organs including the liver, spleen, thyroid and kidneys. The severe and diffuse involvement with cysts in both lungs by lymphangiomatosis was associated with poor prognosis and death in our case.

Dysembryoplastic neuropithelial tumor (DNET) is a rare recently described, benign glioneural tumor frequently associated with intractable seizures in children and young adults which is important to recognise clinically and radiologically as it is surgically curable without need for adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. We hereby present a case report of a 10year old male child who presented with intractable seizures and right parietal space occupying lesion which was diagnosed DNET radiologically, treated by microsurgical excision and confirmed histopathologically as DNET, thus emphasising multidisciplinary role in management of this rare entity.
