Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the liver: a case report and review of the literature.
Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) is a malignant mesenchymal tumour. Although PNETs can occur in numerous solid organs, it is an extremely rare tumour entity, specially involving the liver. We report a 19-year-old boy with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection who was diagnosed with a primary PNET of the liver.
