Computed tomography of primitive neuroectodermal tumors.
The primitive neuroectodermal tumor is a neoplasm of young individuals that occurs predominantly in the supratentorial compartment. It appears on computed tomography as a bulky mass, often with calcification with predominantly homogeneous enhancement but on occasion with cystic or necrotic areas. Cerebrospinal fluid seeding was observed in more than half the cases in our series. The patients ha...

متن کاملSupratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors in young children.
TO THE EDITOR: In the April issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Timmermann et al suggest that radiotherapy plays a major role in the treatment of young children with supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors (stPNET) and conclude that a delay in irradiation may compromise survival. Although stPNET are undoubtedly aggressive brain tumors and results of treatments are still disappoin...
متن کاملPeripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the Pelvis
The primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) belongs to a group of highly malignant tumors and is composed of small round cells of a neuroectodermal origin. Categorized in the same tumor family as Ewing sarcoma, the PNET is most likely to occur in bones and soft tissues. However, a small number of PNET cases arising in the pelvis have been reported as well. We present three cases of pelvic PNET: ...
متن کاملThree cases of a peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor diagnosed using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging
The present study describes the findings from three cases of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) diagnosed using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patients were all diagnosed with PNETs of the peripheral central nervous system. All the lesions were soft-tissue masses with cystic degeneration. The CT images revealed that the lesions were large and ...
