CNS Primitive neuroectodermal tumour, abbreviated CNS-PNET, is an uncommon neuropathology tumour in the group of embryonal tumours.

It is also known as supratentorial primitive neuroepithelial tumour (supratentorial PNET).

General

  • Should not be confused with peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour (abbreviated pPNET[1]), AKA Ewing sarcoma.
  • Currently contains a heterogenous group of poorly differentiated WHO grade IV tumours. Major reoganisation of this group will occur in the upcoming WHO classification.
  • Mainly children and adolescents.
  • Cerebral hemisphere, brain stem or spinal cord.
  • There are currently five ICD-O codes assigned within this group:
    • 9473/3 CNS-PNET, NOS.
    • 9500/3 CNS neuroblastoma.
    • 9490/3 CNS ganglioneuroblastoma.
    • 9501/3 Medulloepithelioma.
    • 9392/3 Ependymoblastoma.

Microscopic

Features:

Immunohistocehmistry

  • S-100 +ve.
  • INI1 +ve (loss defines tumour as ATRT).
