Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are rare small, round cell tumors.
  • PNETs typically originate in soft tissue or bone but can occur in other organs.
  • Lung PNETs are exceptionally rare, especially without chest wall or pleural involvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a peripheral PNET (pPNET) originating in the lung.
  • To describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this rare pulmonary neoplasm.

Main Methods:

  • Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses for diagnosis.
  • Surgical resection of the lung tumor.
  • Multi-modal treatment including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine.

Main Results:

  • A diagnosis of pPNET was confirmed in a 37-year-old female patient with lung origin.
  • The patient underwent successful surgical resection and adjuvant therapy.
  • The patient remains alive with no evidence of recurrence at follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors can rarely originate in the lung.
  • A combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine can be effective in treating pulmonary pPNET.
  • Early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in rare lung neoplasms.
