Abstrakt: Askin's tumor is a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) developing from the soft tissues of the chest wall and mainly occur in children and adolescents. The management approach is complex and requires a multidisciplinary team. We report a case of locally advanced Askin's tumour in a child because of its rarity and also to highlight the importance of keeping the possibility of PNET tumours in mind while dealing with cases of chest wall tumour in children.
