Abstract

Due to its rarity, the standard clinical presentation, treatment protocol, and prognosis of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) have not been clearly described yet. Hence, herein we reported a case of ovarian peripheral PNET whose histomorphology reports caused her certain diagnoses at Imam Khomeini Hospital, affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, in 2020. Considering different clinical presentations, and poor prognosis of PNET compared to other ovarian malignancies, to on-time diagnosis and treatment, the patient's histomorphology and immunohistochemical (IHC) profile assessment, particularly in younger women, seems beneficial. © 2022.
