Med Princ Pract. 2013;22(2):200-3. doi: 10.1159/000342194. Epub 2012 Sep 5.

Abstract

Objective: To report a hypertensive and systematically pigmented female with primitive neuroectodermal tumors.

Clinical presentation and intervention: A female patient presented with a complaint of right flank pain. She had a right renal space-occupying lesion, underwent right radical nephrectomy, and returned to normotensive postoperatively. The pathological examination identified typical primitive neuroectodermal tumor histology. During a 60-month follow-up period, she remained normotensive and demonstrated normal renal and adrenal functions.

Conclusion: Early diagnosis and definitive surgery led to the patient's long-term survival.
