We present 81 year old woman, who was admitted in the Urology Department with symptoms of right flank pain and hematuria. Contrast-enhanced computerized tomography scan (CT-scan) showed a large heterogeneous right kidney mass around 12 cm in diameter. The final diagnosis of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) was established based on clinical, pathological, and molecular results.
