Extraskeletal primitive neuroectodermal tumors may be found in the genitourinary tract, the testes, ovaries, uterus, or pancreas. Renal primitive neuroec- todermal tumors are frequently aggressive and almost 30% of all newly diagnosed cases present with distant metastases. Surgical intervention, intensive chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation therapy are the best choices for management. We discuss the case of a 22-year-old male who presented with a left renal mass. He underwent nephrectomy followed by histopathological examination. Microscopic and immunohistochemical examination revealed a primitive neuroectodermal tumor.}, keywords = {}, url = {https://mejc.sums.ac.ir/article_41974.html}, eprint = {https://mejc.sums.ac.ir/article_41974_0183ef035bb98ccd9718e757be6c068a.pdf} }
