Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma was suspected due to positive immunostaining for CD56, but CHOP therapy was ineffective. Re-evaluation of the tumor cells showed that they were positive for CD99, neuron-specific enolase, and synaptophysin and had a t(11; 22) (q 24; q12) translocation, leading to the revised diagnosis of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). Systemic chemotherapies and radiation therapy were added to surgical resection, and no recurrence has been detected for 3 years. Taken together, PNET may be considered in adult patients with CD56-positive tumors., Article, INTERNAL MEDICINE. 48(15):1267-1272 (2009)}, pages = {1267--1272}, title = {Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor as a Differential Diagnosis of CD56-Positive Tumors in Adults}, volume = {48}, year = {2009} }
