Publication Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumour of Subcutaneous Tissue Presenting as a Shoulder Lump: A Case Report(Nepal Medical Association, 2022) Poudel, Shankar; Sangroula, Upama; Rajak, AshikAbstract: Primitive neuroectodermal tumour is a poorly differentiated small round cell neoplasm that primarily affects children and is very rarely seen in adults. Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumours are rare compared to the central type and resemble soft tissue sarcoma. Primitive neuroectodermal tumours involving the subcutaneous tissue are rare and only a few cases involving the subcutaneous tissue of the anterior abdominal wall have been reported. However, no cases involving the subcutaneous tissue of the shoulder region have been reported. We report the case of a peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour arising from subcutaneous tissue of the right shoulder in a young adult.
