    Abstract:
    Reported is a case of a malignant neuroepithelioma in the retroperitoneum. The patient was a 37-year-old male suffering from lumbago and edema of the lower extremities. After ultrasonography and a CT scan, a diagnosis of a retroperitoneal tumor was made and a surgical resection of the tumor was performed in October, 1985. The subsequent pathological diagnosis was malignant neuroepithelioma which showed epithelioid cell clusters that stained positively to NSE. Eleven months later, metastatic tumors were seen present in the lungs and the liver though they regressed markedly after adjuvant chemotherapy with ADM, CPM, and VCR. Forty-one months after his first operation, the patient continues to work. In this case, adjuvant chemotherapy has proved effective.
