Abstract

Primary intracranial primitive neuroectodermal tumors are rare malignant small cell embryonal neoplasms of neuroectodermal origin, accounting for approximately 2.5% of childhood brain tumors and 0.46% of those in adults. There are very few reported cases of extracranial metastases from these tumors. We report a very rare case of primary intracranial primitive neuroectodermal tumor with metastasis to the lungs.
