Abstract

Proposal: The autors review the chart of 13 patients with diagnosis of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), admitted at the Pediatric Department of Cancer Hospital between the period of 1989 and 1996. Patients and methods: All patients with PNET were analysed in a retrospective way, using epidemiologic clinical data, treatment and outcome. Results: Surgery was the first therapeutic approach in 2 patients. Chemotherapy was administered in 12 patient and radiotherapy in 2. From the 13 patient, five are alive with an average follow up of 48 months after the end of the treatment. Conclusion: This analyis confirms the heterogeneity and agressiveness of PNET tumors. Multicentric studies are necessary for prognostic factors analysis.
