Abstract
We present a case of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) arising from th e diaphragm in a neonate. PNETs are rare malignant tumors that belong to th e group of small, round, blue-cell neoplasms of childhood. To the best of o ur knowledge, a PNET originating from the diaphragm has not been previously reported.
