Abstract

Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a soft tissue sarcoma and is common among children and young adults. We present a case of a 27 years old woman with PNET localized at left arm and with lung metastases. Local ultrasound of the arm presented a tumor mass of 55/20 mm, computed tomography showed multiple pulmonary nodules in bilateral fields. The biopsy made during bronchoscopy and the biopsy made at arms level described PNET. CD99 markers was positive in both examinations.
