Abstract

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors which known as highly aggressive ones, commonly originated from the bone and soft tissues of children or young adults. This tumor group that stems from lung parenchyma is an exceptional case. We report a case of a 20-years old man with pulmonary primitive neuroectodermal tumor. The positron emission tomography scan findings of this rare disease were summarized.
