AB  - The Askin tumour is a highly malignant primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) of 
      the chest wall occurring in children and young adults. We describe three cases to 
      illustrate the clinical and radiological aspects of this tumour, which are not 
      well documented. Patients present with a chest wall mass, pain and constitutional 
      symptoms. Radiology demonstrates a large soft tissue chest wall mass, local rib 
      erosion and pleural effusion. Recurrence tends to be local chest wall, pulmonary 
      or skeletal. The prognosis is poor. Askin tumours must be considered in the 
      differential diagnosis of chest wall masses in children and young adults.
