Abstract

Primitive Neuroectodermal tumours (PNET) are small-cell malignant embryonal tumors showing divergent differentiation of variable degree into neuronal, glial, or rarely mesenchymal tissues. PNET belongs to the Ewing family of tumors. Tumors that fall under the heading PNET include medulloblastoma (commonest), pineoblastoma, pendymoblastoma, retinoblastoma, neuroblastoma and esthesioneuroblastoma. Ependymoblastoma is a synonym for PNET.
