[Malignant small-cell thoracic pulmonary tumor (Askin tumor)].
We report 4 cases of malignant thoraco-pulmonary small-cell tumors (Askin tumor). Only two cases were operated. We emphasize the difficult histological diagnosis and demonstrate the importance of complete removal for survival. Prognosis remains poor.
