Background: Pulmonary primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), a member of the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors, is a rare malignancy that is associated with a grim prognosis. To date, fewer than 30 cases of pulmonary PNET have been reported. In this case report, we present the clinical details of a 12-year-old girl with pulmonary PNET who underwent surgical treatment. We also conducted an analysis and summary of other relevant studies and the surgical outcomes. Case presentation: In May 2018, a 12-year-old girl was admitted with symptoms of cough and blood-tinged phlegm. A computed tomography scan revealed a large mass, measuring 12.9 cm × 8.1 cm, in the right middle and lower lungs. A percutaneous lung biopsy confirmed poorly differentiated tumor cells with a nested growth pattern. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated positive expression of CD99, CD56, Vimentin, and Synaptophysin. The patient was diagnosed with pulmonary PNET. Following three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, a substantial reduction in tumor volume was observed. Subsequently, the patient underwent a surgical procedure involving pneumonectomy and partial resection of the left atrium with the assistance of cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient was discharged 37 days after surgery. During a three-year follow-up period, she exhibited no signs of tumor recurrence and has successfully returned to school. Conclusions: This case highlights the successful management of an advanced PNET with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, pneumonectomy, and partial resection of the left atrium employing cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient remained disease-free after three years. Our analysis of surgically treated cases indicates that neoadjuvant chemotherapy can contribute to improved prognoses for PNET patients. It is crucial to emphasize that complete surgical excision remains the cornerstone of treatment, underscoring the importance of surgeons considering radical surgical approaches whenever feasible for patients with pulmonary PNETs.

Background: A recent cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China, was caused by a novel betacoronavirus, the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). We report the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics and treatment and clinical outcomes of these patients.Methods: All patients with suspected 2019-nCoV were admitted to a designated hospital in Wuhan. We prospectively collected and analysed data on patients with laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV infection by real-time RT-PCR and next-generation sequencing. Data were obtained with standardised data collection forms shared by WHO and the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium from electronic medical records. Researchers also directly communicated with patients or their families to ascertain epidemiological and symptom data. Outcomes were also compared between patients who had been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and those who had not.Findings: By Jan 2, 2020, 41 admitted hospital patients had been identified as having laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV infection. Most of the infected patients were men (30 [73%] of 41); less than half had underlying diseases (13 [32%]), including diabetes (eight [20%]), hypertension (six [15%]), and cardiovascular disease (six [15%]). Median age was 49·0 years (IQR 41·0-58·0). 27 (66%) of 41 patients had been exposed to Huanan seafood market. One family cluster was found. Common symptoms at onset of illness were fever (40 [98%] of 41 patients), cough (31 [76%]), and myalgia or fatigue (18 [44%]); less common symptoms were sputum production (11 [28%] of 39), headache (three [8%] of 38), haemoptysis (two [5%] of 39), and diarrhoea (one [3%] of 38). Dyspnoea developed in 22 (55%) of 40 patients (median time from illness onset to dyspnoea 8·0 days [IQR 5·0-13·0]). 26 (63%) of 41 patients had lymphopenia. All 41 patients had pneumonia with abnormal findings on chest CT. Complications included acute respiratory distress syndrome (12 [29%]), RNAaemia (six [15%]), acute cardiac injury (five [12%]) and secondary infection (four [10%]). 13 (32%) patients were admitted to an ICU and six (15%) died. Compared with non-ICU patients, ICU patients had higher plasma levels of IL2, IL7, IL10, GSCF, IP10, MCP1, MIP1A, and TNFα.Interpretation: The 2019-nCoV infection caused clusters of severe respiratory illness similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and was associated with ICU admission and high mortality. Major gaps in our knowledge of the origin, epidemiology, duration of human transmission, and clinical spectrum of disease need fulfilment by future studies.Funding: Ministry of Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, National Natural Science Foundation of China, and Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission.
