Peripheral 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: ...

Peripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the Ovary: The Report of Two Rare Cases

Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) is a highly aggressive small round cell tumor belonging to PNET/Ewing sarcoma family. Ovarian tumors composed of primitive neuroectodermal elements are extremely rare. Herein we reported two cases of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors of ovary in two patients with different clinical presentations. Definite diagnoses were made bas...

Primitive Ideal Space of Ultragraph $C^*$-algebras

In this paper, we describe the primitive ideal space of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(mathcal G)$  associated to the ultragraph $mathcal{G}$. We investigate the structure of the closed ideals of the quotient ultragraph $  C^* $-algebra  $C^*left(mathcal G/(H,S)right)$ which contain no nonzero set projections and then we characterize all non gauge-invariant primitive ideals. Our results generalize the ...

FDG PET scan in a primitive neuroectodermal tumor.

Primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare tumor that often arises in soft tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging is a good diagnostic tool that can establish the extent of disease. The utility of positron emission tomography (PET) using F-18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) in the diagnostic work-up and staging of PNET has not been well established. We present a case of PNET of the ...

Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET) ofKidney -A Rare Entity

Primitive  neuroectodermal  tumor  (PNET)  of  kidney  is  an  extremely  rare  renal  neoplasm  with only about fifty reported cases in literature.  Presumably,of neural crest origin, these tumors behave  aggressively  and  carry  a  poor prognosis.  We  report  a  case  of  22-year  old  female  patient complaining of left loin pain with recurrent hematuria for last 3 months. On clinical ex...
