Abstract: Primary intracranial primitive neuroectodermal tumors are rare
malignant small cell embryonal neoplasms of neuroectodermal origin, accounting
for approximately 2.5% of childhood brain tumors and 0.46% of those in adults.
There are very few reported cases of extracranial metastases from these tumors.
We report a very rare case of primary intracranial primitive neuroectodermal
tumor with metastasis to the lungs.
