Sumario:In the present report, we describe our experience with a 44-year-old male with abnormal retroperitoneal primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNETs) in our hospital, who was operated on with a spindle cell neoplasm diagnosis. LEARNING POINTS: Appropriate treatment is a crucial challenge in patients with PNETs due to late referral. The differential diagnoses were malignant pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma and retroperitoneal sarcoma. Physicians should keep in mind that the patient could be simultaneously suffering from sarcoma and a retroperitoneal PNET.
