Primitive neuroectodermal tumour in the oral cavity. Case report

Primitive neuroectodermal tumour is regarded as a rarely seen lesion as it occurs mainly within the central nervous system. However, this neoplasm does occasionally occur elsewhere in the body. One such case which occurred in the posterior part of the palate in a child is reported. Following a combined therapeutic approach comprising surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the patient has been well for nine years since treatment.
