Abstract

Primary primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) is a rare entity and have severe malign potential. However, PNET is derived from central nervous system, it can rarely occur in another soft tissue. Herein, we present an extremely rare cause of hematuria in an 83-year-old man, who was diagnosed as adamantinoma like PNET, in bladder. After transurethral surgical treatment, there was no recurrence, in short-term clinical follow-up. According to our best knowledge, he was the oldest patient who had PNET in bladder, in published literature.
