| Abstrakt: | Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are rare and aggressive members of the small round cell carcinoma family. Generally, PNETs are classified into two main groups: PNETs of the central nervous system and PNETs of the peripheral nervous system. Herein, we report the therapy response assessment of a rare case of isolated cardiac PNET using 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. Given that physiological cardiac FDG uptake is typically observed, assessing FDG avid lesions in the myocardium presents a challenge for FDG PET/CT. This case holds significance because of the rarity of the disease and the challenging nature of the site for FDG PET/CT imaging.
