Radiological diagnoses of an incidental Askin tumor: About one case

Abstract

Askin's tumor is a rare primitive neuroectodermal tumoral developing from the soft tissues of the chest wall. Its diagnosis approach is complex and requires a multidisciplinary team. We report a case of an incidentally discovered anterior chest wall Askin tumor in a 27-year-old woman, following a forced chest pain, having motivated to perform a chest CT scan. We will discuss the nonspecific imaging findings and the characteristic histopathological features that confirm a diagnosis.
