[A peripheral primary neuroectodermal tumour of the lung in a man of 49 years]

Peripheral primary neuroectodermal tumours (pPNET) of the lung are very rare malignant tumours. The authors report a case of pPNET of the lung in a 49-year-old man, who developed a sarcoma in the irradiated territory 7 years after completion of adjuvant radiotherapy. A review of the literature on pPNET of the lung is presented in the light of this case report.
