Ewing Sarcoma/Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the Kidney: A Rare and Lethal Entity.

TL;DR: Important considerations with regards to morphology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular alterations will be reviewed here and should be taken into account before rendering this rare and lethal diagnosis.

Ewing sarcoma of the kidney: a rare entity.

TL;DR: Ewing sarcoma and primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) are high-grade malignant tumors typically found in children and adolescents and the prognosis of those with metastatic disease is poor.

Ewing Sarcoma With Emphasis on Extra-skeletal Ewing Sarcoma: A Decade's Experience From a Single Centre in India.

TL;DR: Molecular tests were performed more frequently in extra-skeletal tumours, especially in visceral tumours to establish the diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma family of tumours with emphasis on sex, age, and location.

Ewing’s sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the kidney: a case report and literature review

TL;DR: An 18-year-old man diagnosed with renal ES/PNET, who suffered from a sudden left flank pain associated with gross hematuria, is reported, who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy of the left kidney.

Primary Ewing Sarcoma/Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the Kidney: The MD Anderson Cancer Center Experience.

TL;DR: It was found that the 4-year overall survival for patients without metastasis was 85% compared to 47% for patients with metastasis and local tumor extension beyond the kidney, tumor thrombus, and distant metastasis are unfavorable factors that warrant intensification or novel approaches of therapy.

Ewing’s Sarcoma Family of Tumors: Current Management

TL;DR: Patients with initially metastatic disease fare less well, with about one quarter surviving, and new approaches include anti-angiogenic therapy, particularly since vascular endothelial growth factor is an apparent downstream target of the ews-fli1 oncogene.

Primary Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the kidney: A clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of 11 cases

TL;DR: A unique proclivity of renal ES/PNET for young adults is affirms and that it is a highly aggressive neoplasm, with rapid death in many cases, usually after the development of treatment-resistant lung metastases.
