Primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the posterior mandible: A case report

Primitif nöroektodermal tümör, nöroektodermal kaynaklı değişik hücre farklılaşması ile birlikte olan bir neoplazmkategorisini tanımlamak için kullanılan bir terimdir. Bu tümörler vücutta birçok yerden kaynak alır. Göğüs duvarı, larinks, karın ve pelvis en sık tutulan bölgeler olup, nadi-ren baş ve boyun bölgesinde oluşur.
