Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare disease with high malignant potential. It usually affects the skeletal system. Primary extraskeletal involvement of PNET is uncommon with few reported cases. PNET of the genitourinary system requires a very high index of suspicion for the diagnosis since the presentation of these tumors can be varied. We report two cases of PNET with varied presentations, affecting the genitourinary system.
