TI  - Primitive neuroectodermal kidney tumour.
PG  - 211-3
AB  - Renal primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) is a rare malignant tumour of 
      paediatric patients. We describe the important imaging findings, including the 
      ultrasound, CT and MRI of a case of renal PNET in a teenager. To our knowledge, 
      some findings have not been described previously. Some features that have been 
      considered as characteristic are not present in our case, and it is, to our 
      knowledge, the first documented case with such extensive tumour thrombus. We also 
      demonstrate the importance of including PNET as a differential diagnosis because 
      combined chemotherapy is thought to be the best first-line treatment in most 
      cases. Histological diagnosis can be determined by a minimally invasive procedure 
      instead of laparotomy or open biopsy.
