Summary:A thirty-one-year-old Bangladeshi male presented to the surgical outpatient clinic with a painless lump. Histopathology revealed peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) arising from the chest wall.

The histological examination was complemented by immunohistochemistry; the tumor cells were positive for CD99, BCL2, NSE, EMA and Vimentin.
