Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) belongs to the Ewing family of tumors. It’s a rare and highly malignant small round cell tumor that generally occurs in adolescents and young adults. Its location at the parotid gland is extremely unusual. Here we describe a rare case of 13-year-old female who presented with painful, progressively enlarging and swelling mass located in the right parotid gland.
