Abstrakt: Primitive neuroectodermal tumor of adrenal gland is a rare malignant neoplasm. It is categorised under peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (pPNET). They have aggressive course with very poor prognosis. A 10-year old male patient was being evaluated for left loin pain. Ultrasonography showed a large mass in left lumber region with heterogenous echotexture and increased vascularity on colour Doppler. Computed tomography showed the mass was arising from left suprarenal gland. PET-CT scan reveald the mass was metabolically active. Biopsy from that mass showed histopathological features consistent with primitive neuroectodermal tumor of adrenal origin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
