Abstract EN
We report the case of a 12-year-old girl, who consulted us with one-year history of an 8 mm nose lesion that was painless and firm upon palpation.
The lesion was resected conservatively.
Immunohistochemistry was in favor of a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)/Ewing’s sarcoma lesion, excluding epithelial, lymphoid, and other tumors.
After a second resection, our patient was referred to chemotherapy and has already undergone 9 cycles out of 14.
The patient is to date with no evidence of persistent or recurrent disease.
To our knowledge, this is the first description of a PNET arising in the nose.
