Mittal S, Sumana G, Gupta M, Gupta B. Primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the uterus: a case report. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2007;17:524-527. Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor is a rare group of tumors belonging to the Ewing's family of tumors. The female genital tract is a rare site of origin and to date there are 14 reported cases in the literature. We hereby report the 15th case of uterine primitive neuroectodermal tumor in a 24-year-old multipara in the reproductive age group. A 24-year-old multipara presented with pain and mass abdomen. Physical examination revealed a pelvic mass enlarged to 20 weeks size gravid uterus, fixed, tender and hard, occupying the whole pelvis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large mass posterior to the uterus. She underwent panhysterectomy and debulking of the tumor. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. She developed recurrence of the tumor within a month and is now on chemotherapy.", pages = "524-527(4)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bsc/ijg/2007/00000017/00000002/art00032" doi = "doi:10.1111/j.1525-1438.2007.00792.x" }
