    <abstract locale="en_US">Askin tumour is an uncommon form of malignant neoplasm that develops from the soft tissues of the thoracopulmonary wall and has neuroectodermal origin and possessing an aggressive behavior.&#xA0; As it mimics other common pediatric disorders such as empyema, tuberculosis, lymphoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and neuroblastoma, it acts as a great diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the treating clinicians. Its rarity, however, contributes greatly to the absence of standardized treatment protocols further facilitating detrimental prognosis.&#xA0; So, the major deciding factor of its survival rate is early and precise diagnosis followed by its treatment.
&#xD;

The present study reports a case Askin&#x2019;s tumor of child which is locally aggressive and quite rare. While making the definitive diagnosis of an Askin&#x2019;s tumour of thorcopulmonary region the possibility of occurrence of other primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) was not ruled out.</abstract>
