Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are aggressive, poorly differentiated tumors
in children and young adults. However, the embryonal tumor group did not include the
central nervous system (CNS) PNET title and ependymoblastoma subtitle in the 2016
World Health Organization CNS tumor classification. Here, we report the case of a
6-year-old boy with a sellar embryonal tumor and present a review of the related literature.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of an endoscopically operated
sellar embryonal tumor in the pediatric age group.
Key-words:
Embryonal tumor - endoscopy - sella
