Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumours are a group of rare sarcomas arising from the pleuripotent neural crest cells. They share similar histology and cytogenetics with Ewings sarcoma. Occurrence of peripheral PNET of the skin is a rare entity and poses challenge with respect to diagnosis and treatment. We report this case to highlight the importance of IHC and cytogenetics in diagnosing skin PNETs which is crucial for its prompt treatment.
