Multiple Ewing Sarcoma/Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors in the Mediastinum
Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumors (ES/PNET) are high-grade malignant neoplasms. These malignancies present very rare tumors of thoracopulmonary area and even rarer in the mediastinum. In our knowledge, ES/PNET presented with multiple mediastinal masses has not been reported previously. We experienced a case of a 42-year-old man presented with gradual onset of left-side pleuritic ch...
متن کاملMalignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors Masking as Ewing Sarcoma/Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors
Malignant peripheral nerve tumors, a small subset of soft tissue sarcomas, provide a unique diagnostic challenge. Although they may arise from peripheral nerves or from cells associated with nerve sheaths, malignant peripheral nerve tumors often present with diverse immunohistochemical features similar to those of other tumors. These features make MPNSTs difficult to diagnose and classify. We p...
متن کاملThe Ewing tumor family of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors expresses human gastrin-releasing peptide.
The Ewing tumor family of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (pPNETs) are characterized by chromosomal translocations leading to EWS-ETS gene fusions. These hybrid genes express chimeric proteins that are thought to act as aberrant transcription factors. We therefore used differential display-PCR to compare gene expression patterns in pPNET cell lines with those of other small round ce...
متن کاملChromosomal translocations highlighted in Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors (PNET) and Ewing sarcoma
Almost 200 molecular markers in oncology, very important in the diagnosis, prognostic and treatment were identified. The cell and tissue markers and also the circulating (sanguine) ones are genetic markers of the hereditary and non-hereditary tumors. Also extremely important are the regulatory ways of cell growth and differentiation, of the cell "senescence" and cell death (apoptosis). The term...
متن کاملEwing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor arising in the adrenal gland.
Ewing sarcoma (ES)/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a malignant small round blue cell neoplasm of presumed neuroectodermal origin that affects bones and soft tissue in children and young adults. Nearly 80% of the patients are younger than 20 years. The tumor cells characteristically express CD99 (MIC2 antigen), a glycoprotein localized on cell membrane. The defining feature of ES/PNET ...
