Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET): A Rare Tumor in Differential Diagnosis of Renal Mass in Adolescences

Abstract

A thirteen-year-old boy with a right flank mass and painless gross hematuria is presented. The patient underwent open biopsy and the result was a huge primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of right kidney. Radical nephrectomy was performed for him and the treatment process continued with systemic chemotherapy.
