Abstract

Ewing's sarcoma/primary neuroectodermal tumor (EWS/PNET) is an extraordinarily rare primary tumor of the kidney with characteristic histology. To date, the imaging features of EWS/PNET have not been clearly described. Here, we report two cases of EWS/PNET confirmed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy and analyze the findings of computed tomography and ultrasound. The radiological features of EWS/PNET are presented along with a brief review of the pertinent literature to have a further understanding of EWS/PNET's imaging features.

Keywords: Ewing’s sarcoma; X-ray computed tomography; histology; neuroectodermal tumor; ultrasound.
