Abstract
Primary primitive neuroectodermal tumor of kidney is a rare entity. They are aggressive tumors, have tendency of vascular invasion and metastatizing to lungs, liver and bones. Classically the tumor comprises of small round cells arranged in sheets with presence of pseudo-rosettes. The tumor needs an accurate diagnosis from other round cell tumors as the treatment and prognosis varies with each one. This report documents a case of PNET of kidney in a 35 year old female.
Keywords:-Primitive neuroectodermal tumor, Kidney, Ewings sarcoma, malignant.
