Peripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor in elderly patient - Age is no bar
Abstract
Peripheral Primitive neuroectodermal tumor
(pPNET) is very rare tumor in elderly
age group. We report a case of 60 year
old female who presented with right mid
thigh swelling, diagnosed as pPNET by
histopathological, immunohistochemistry
and molecular methods. The case has
been reported for its rarity and to highlight
the importance of modern techniques
in diagnosing unusual cases,
which may have an impact on disease
outcome.
