Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of thyroid

Abstract

Extra skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma (EES) is rare. EES commonly arises in the soft tissues of trunk or extremities. EES is rare in the region of head and neck; most of those have been documented in nasal cavity, para nasal sinuses and neck. Prognosis and survival statistics have been poor. Our patient was diagnosed to have PNET of thyroid who presented to us with distant metastases after prior surgery and succumbed after 1st cycle of anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
