Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a malignant (cancerous) neural crest tumor. It is a unprecedented tumor, normally happening in children and teens below 25 years of age. The average five 12 months survival charge is about 53%.

It receives its name due to the fact the general public of the cells within the tumor are derived from neuroectoderm, however have no longer developed and differentiated in the manner a regular neuron could, and so the cells appear "primitive".


Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) belongs to the Ewing own family of tumors.
