Abstract
Peripheral neuroectodermal tumors are uncommon cancers arising from outside the central nervous system. The urinary system is rarely involved. The differentiation of these tumors from other small cell cancer and neuroblastoma is based on immunohistochemical differences. We report 2 cases of such tumors arising from the renal parenchyma. Tumor behavior and treatment modalities are discussed.
