Primary primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the lung is an extremely rare and highly malignant neoplasm with a poor prognosis. A 49year-old man presented with a dry cough and slight pain in the left chest for nearly 1 month. 18 F-FDG PET/CT showed intense 18 F-FDG uptake of the left inferior lung tumor and hypermetabolic mediastinal lymph nodes. Histopathology revealed primitive neuroectodermal tumor after CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy of the left inferior lung mass was performed.

Primary Ewing sarcoma (ES) of the lung is anecdotally rare, with few cases reported in literature. This report describes a 46 year-old man who presented with cough and chest pain. CT Thorax revealed a lesion in the right lung. Ultrasound guided fineneedle aspiration of the mass and subsequent cytologic examination exhibited a small round cell morphology. Immunohistochemistry done on the cell block revealed CD 99 and FLI-1 positivity, confirming the diagnosis of ES. FISH supported the diagnosis, showing the EWSR1 rearrangement. Radiologic investigations ruled out a primary tumour elsewhere, confirming the diagnosis of primary pulmonary ES. The patient was started on chemotherapy.
