Abstract :
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors of the kidney are rare tumors representing about
1% of all sarcomas. Extraskeletal primitive neuroectodermal tumors may be found in
the genitourinary tract, the testes, ovaries, uterus, or pancreas. Renal primitive neuroec-
todermal tumors are frequently aggressive and almost 30% of all newly diagnosed cases
present with distant metastases. Surgical intervention, intensive chemotherapeutic
drugs and radiation therapy are the best choices for management.
We discuss the case of a 22-year-old male who presented with a left renal mass. He
underwent nephrectomy followed by histopathological examination. Microscopic and
immunohistochemical examination revealed a primitive neuroectodermal tumor.
