Objective: Renal primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare and highly malignant neoplasm. Our study alms to present the clinical findings and prognosis of 6 patients with renal PNET from China. Material and Methods: From Janu-ary 2003 to February 2012, 6 patients with renal PNET con-firmed by immunohistochemical staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) treated in our institution were re-viewed retrospectively and our data compared with the lit-erature. Results: There were 4 male and 2 female patients with a mean age of 35.0 years. The mean diameter was 13.3 cm. Five of the masses had renal vein thrombosis, and 3 extended into the inferior vena cava. A lymph node metas-tasis was detected In 1 patient and a liver metastasis in an-other patient. Radical nephrectomy was performed In all cases, with 5 patients following chemotherapy and 1 receiv-ing Sutent treatment. Within a median follow-up of 7.5 months (range 1-71), median overall survival was 22.1 months. Conclusions: The diagnosis of renal PNET should be considered in young patients presenting with renal mass and venous thrombosis. It seems that Asian renal PNET pa-tients had a higher rate of venous thrombosis than Cauca-sian populations. CD99 posltivity on immunohistochemistry and EWS-FL1 chimera gene detected by FISH support the diagnosis. The prognosis is poor despite multimodal treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
