Askin tumour: a rare thoracopulmonary tumour in adults

Abstract

Askin tumour, a primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the thoracopulmonary region, is a rare tumour presenting in childhood. Its presentation in adults is rare. We report a case of an Askin tumour in an adult patient who presented to us with worsening breathlessness and vague chest pain. Investigations including immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of Askin tumour.
