title: Primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the diaphragm: a case report.
abstract: We present a case of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) arising from the diaphragm in a neonate. PNETs are rare malignant tumors that belong to the group of small, round, blue-cell neoplasms of childhood. To the best of our knowledge, a PNET originating from the diaphragm has not been previously reported.
