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.
