  • Title: Primary intracranial peripheral PNET"--a case report and review.
    Author: Velivela K, Rajesh A, Uppin MS, Purohit AK.
    Journal: Neurol India; 2014; 62(6):669-73. PubMed ID: 25591683.
    Abstract:
    The site of origin of primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) is quite varied and has significant influence on the prognosis. We report a case of intracranial peripheral PNET/Ewing's sarcoma arising from the superior tentorial surface in a 13-year-old girl. Gross total excision of the tumor was done. We have discussed the distinction between central nervous system PNET (CNS PNET) and Intracranial Peripheral PNET (pPNET/ES) as their treatment and prognosis varies radically. A review of literature shows that prognosis is better in intracranial pPNET/ES.
