TI  - Primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the prostate gland: ultrasound and MRI 
      findings.
PG  - e180-3
AB  - We report a rare case of primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) of the prostate 
      occurring in a 26-year-old man with a mass replacing the prostate gland in the 
      absence of any lesion involving the bone and soft tissues. To our knowledge, 
      there is no radiological literature that has described the imaging findings in a 
      case of PNET of the prostate. Imaging findings in cases of PNET of the kidney are 
      described in the literature. On ultrasound, the mass appeared multilobulated and 
      multinodular with intratumoural heterogeneity. No brightly reflective echoes with 
      posterior acoustic shadowing to suggest calcification were noted. MRI revealed a 
      heterogeneous lobulated mass with irregular septae within. The mass showed low 
      signal intensity on T(1) weighted images and appeared heterogeneous on T(2) 
      weighted images. Haemorrhage and necrosis were also seen in the tumour.
