Abstract


Primary spinal cord extradural primitive
neurectodermal tumors are rare . These
belong to a category of aggressive childhood
malignancies . They pose a significant
challenge in the management . Primary
spinal extradural PNET most commonly
occur in children and young
adults . So far around fifty cases have
been reported in the literature . This case
is presented for its rarity and also for its
typical presentation . These tumors are
highly aggressive and have a rapid
growth . This 6 year female child underwent
gross total excision of the extradural
tumor . Review of the literature
shows that the overall prognosis is very
poor even with surgery , chemotherapy
and radiotherapy .
