Abstract

Askin tumor is an uncommon malignant neoplasm of a neuroectodermic origin that arises from the soft tissues of the thoracopulmonary wall. Defined histologically by malignant small round cell tumor and immunohistochemistry positive for CD99. The lack of clinical guides that establish a standardized management contributes to its poor prognosis and short overall survival.
