Abstract
We describe a rare case of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) originating in the lung of a 20 year old male. A lung mass was detected on a chest radiograph showing opacity with pleural effusion. CT thorax showed mediastinal mass while hypodense mass was seen in right parietal convexity of brain in CT brain. We received multiple grey brown to dark brown friable masses largest of size 13x11x5 cm and other small masses altogether measuring 16x5x8 cm. Cut sections of all masses were grey white and hemorrhagic. Primary pulmonary PNET was reported on histopathology with CNS biopsy also showing similar appearance.
