The CT-imaging findings of primary renal PNET/Ewing's sarcoma in two patients were retrospectively assessed. A large renal mass with heterogenous contrast enhancement and necrotic and hemorrhagic areas were the predominant characteristics. In adolescents or young adults presenting with a large renal mass, PNET/Ewing's sarcoma may be included in the differential diagnosis.

We report an uncommon case of primitive neuroectodermal tumor/ Ewing's sarcoma of the lumbar and sacral nerve plexus in a 17years old boy who presented with an intense pain in the lower back radiating to legs. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a soft tissue mass with thickening of lumbar and sacral spinal nerve roots (L5-S3 level), along with widening of the corresponding foramina. There was also posterior scalloping of L5/S1 vertebrae and invasion of the sacral bone.

Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)/Ewing's sarcoma tumors are a group of highly malignant tumors composed of small, round cells showing neuroectodermal differentiation that commonly affects soft tissue and bone. PNET involving the genitourinary system is rare and PNET of the penile urethra is rarer still. It exhibits a highly aggressive biological behavior with poor prognosis.

This case report describes a patient with a rare occurrence of primary spinal intramedullary Ewing's sarcoma (ES) in the cervical and thoracic spine. The older age of disease occurrence, uncommon location in the cervical and thoracic spine, and EWSR1 gene fusion as the basis of diagnosis are unique features of this case. There is no clear protocol for treatment of primary extraskeletal ES of the spine, with controversy between evidence for pursuing surgery versus a combination of radiation and chemotherapy.

Introduction: Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)/Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) belongs to a family of neoplasms that are presumed to originate from the neuroectodermal crest. PNET/EWSs are highly aggressive malignancies that usually present in the form of bone or soft tissue masses and usually affect adolescents and young adults. Primary PNET/EWS of the kidney is very rare.

Unlabelled: Spindle cell/mesenchymal tumors of the kidney are rare. The diagnosis is supported mainly by the application of ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry (IH) and in-situ hybridization (FISH). An accurate diagnosis is essential because early management by complete resection and adjuvant chemotherapy improves the prognosis dramatically.
