ABSTRACT
Two cases of primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the lung are reported. The first case is a 41-year-old man with a tumor in the left upper lung, and the second case is a 30-year-old woman with a tumor in the right lower lung. In both cases, the tumors originated in the lung but not in the chest wall. No distant metastasis was detected. In case 1, transcutaneous fine-needle biopsy (TCNB) revealed small round cell proliferation, although bronchoscopic examination showed no abnormal findings. Both the expression of Mic2 protein and t(11;22)(q24;q12) translocation were proved in the tumor cells. The tumor cells were positive for periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and vimentin, but negative for Leu7, chromogranin A, and pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP). In case 2, bronchoscopic examination showed only compressive change in right lower lobe bronchi. TCNB revealed small round tumor cells expressing Mic2 protein. The tumor cells were negative for leukocyte common antigen, S100 protein, pankeratin, chromogranin A, and desmin, but weakly positive for NSE and moderately positive for Ki-67 (MIB1). Both patients were successfully treated by the combination of surgical resection and chemotherapy, and are alive with no sign of recurrence for approximately 22 months in case 1 and 16 months in case 2.
