ABSTRACT
The authors are reporting two cases of huge primitive neuroectodermal tumors involving cerebral hemisphere. These are highly malignant neoplasm, both clinically and histologically. They are rapidly growing tumors, with a brief duration of symptoms and a rapidly progressive course. The patients were discharged after subtotal resecton of tumor mass with an uneventful course, but one was dead within 2 months after the operation. These tumors usually occur in children and young adult. We have experienced two cases surgically treated in infancy.
