Abstract:
A congenital peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the hand demonstrating aggressive behavior by rapid growth and ulceration, as well as early diffuse metastasis is presented. Management consisted of below-elbow amputation and chemotherapy. Despite the tumor's initial response, intracranial metastases occurred 7 months later. The patient died shortly thereafter, 15 months after presentation.
