Abstract

BUSTAMANTE CHAVEZ, Rubí X.; YALTA ARCE, Herman  and  VASQUEZ SULLCA, Roy R.. Primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumor of the kidney, case report. Rev. Cuerpo Med. HNAAA [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.4, e1377.  Epub Jan 28, 2023. ISSN 2225-5109.  http://dx.doi.org/10.35434/rcmhnaaa.2022.154.1377.

Introduction:

Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the kidney (PNETk) is a very aggressive rare disease that mainly affects young men.

Case report:

A 19-year-old male patient with symptoms of abdominal pain, hematuria and a palpable mass, the tomography shows a large left renal tumor. Conventional radical nephrectomy was performed and sent for pathology study plus histochemistry, resulting in PNETk. The patient then continued his oncology management for chemotherapy initially.

Conclusion:

The PNETk that we describe represents the first case reported in our country, it constitutes a unique clinical entity due to its rarity, being a challenge to make a diagnosis and its behavior and management is still based on case reports due to its infrequency.

Keywords : Primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumor; Kidney; Rare disease; Nephrectomy.
