“…Other similar cases including ES or pPNET are mentioned in Table 1 . Eleven of these patients achieved complete remission, seven following multimodality treatment, and one had spontaneous regression of cutaneous nodules [6,[9][10][11][12]17,23,27,28].…”

Neonatal tumors comprise less than two percent of childhood malignancies. Most are solid tumors, most common histologies being teratoma and neuroblastoma. We encountered a child who was detected to have a right arm mass on antenatal sonogram, which was diagnosed to be a primitive neuroectodermal tumor involving the triceps on fine needle aspiration cytology performed in the post-natal period. The child was successfully treated with multimodality treatment consisting of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We also discuss briefly the problems associated with therapy in neonatal period. A review of all cases reported to have congenital Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors is presented. Novel therapies are needed to improve efficacy and decrease the devastating side effects of treatment in this age group.

“…Histológicamente presenta más de 70 tipos, y por biología molecular los subtipos superan este número. Hoy en día, por compartir un mismo patrón histológico y sensibilidad a la radioterapia se los ha agrupado bajo una familia: tumores de la familia del sarcoma de Ewing o familia de tumores neuroectodérmicos, que incluye sarcoma de Ewing, sarcoma extraóseo de Ewing, tumor neuroectodérmico primitivo periférico (pPNET) y el tumor de Askin, cuando afecta a la pared torácica (Crocoli et al, 2012).…”

Treatment of an Askin tumor: A case report and review of the literature

Askin tumors are rare malignant neoplasms that are localized in the thoracopulmonary region and mainly occur in children and adolescents. Further investigation with regard to the effective treatment of this disease is required, since the disease has a low incidence and limited knowledge is available on the biological activity and prognostic factors of this type of tumor. The present study describes the case of a 30-year-old male patient with a histologically and morphologically proven Askin tumor who was treated in Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute (Jinan, China). A chest computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a large mass filling the entire left lung, associated with mediastinum and right lung compression and accompanied by destruction of the 2nd rib. The patient accepted chemotherapy and radiotherapy instead of a radical mass resection since the mass was irresectable. A good clinical response was achieved to the chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The diagnosis and treatment of Askin tumors remains a challenge for clinicians and surgeons due to the absence of standard therapeutic guidelines for the treatment of this disease. According to the experience obtained from the cases encountered to date, treatment strategies should aim to reduce local recurrence and distant metastasis. Moreover, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy or a combination of these methods appears to constitute an effective treatment strategy for Askin tumors.
