Abstract :
According to the World Health Organization, medulloepithelioma belongs to the embryonal neoplasm entity. It is a very rare,highly malignant tumor typically affecting infants and young children. Usually, the tumor arises in the eye or in the centralnervous system; a peripheral location has been rarely reported without an established treatment. The recognition and separationof this neoplasm from other differential tumors are mandatory for better understanding of its biology and determination ofoptimal treatment. This paper reports a case of an ectopic intrapelvic medulloepithelioma with liver metastasis in a 3-year-old girl.
