Primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the kidney: radiologic-pathological correlations

Hong Kong Med J. 2008 Jun;14(3):240-3.

Abstract

A primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the kidney is a rare malignancy. We report the computed tomographic features and the histopathological correlation of such a tumour occurring in a middle-aged man. Although the radiological appearance has significant overlap with other renal tumours, this tumour should be included in the differential diagnosis of a large renal mass in younger patients.
