TI  - Primitive neuroectodermal tumours of the uterus: a case report with cytological 
      correlation and review of the literature.
PG  - 455-61
AB  - A case of primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) co-existing with endometrial 
      adenocarcinoma of the uterus is reported in a 48-year-old female. Histologically, 
      the neoplastic cells formed neuroectodermal rosettes and displayed ependymal 
      differentiation. Focal positive immunohistochemical staining for synaptophysin, 
      chromogranin A, CD57 and cytokeratins was noted. Merging imperceptibly with the 
      neuroectodermal component were areas of endometrial adenocarcinoma and, to the 
      best of our knowledge, this report represents the second case of a uterine PNET 
      with an admixed mullerian component. The patient was disease-free 6 months 
      following surgical resection of the tumour. The literature on this uncommon 
      entity is critically reviewed and the histogenesis, differential diagnoses and 
      cytomorphological features of PNET are also discussed.
