What is Resection and Reconstruction of a Giant Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumour of the Abdominal Wall with an Ultra-long Lateral Circumflex Femoral Artery Musculocutaneous Flap: a Case Report about?

## Abstract ## Background Primitive neuroectodermal tumours are clinically rare. Here, we report a case of a large peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the abdominal wall. The defect was reconstructed with the longest lateral circumflex femoral artery musculocutaneous flap reported to date. ## Case presentation A 15-year-old male suffered rupture and bleeding of an abdominal wall mass with a volume of approximately 23\*18\*10 cm^3^, involving the whole layer of the abdominal wall. Pathological examination revealed a peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour. The tumour was removed via oncologic resection, and the abdominal wall was reconstructed with a bilateral 44\*8 cm^2^ lateral circumflex femoral artery musculocutaneous flap combined with a titanium polypropylene patch. The patient had smooth recovery postoperative, and the functions of the donor and recipient areas of the flap were not significantly affected. ## Conclusion In this case report, we describe a rare primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the abdominal wall, which invaded almost the entire abdominal wall due to delay of treatment. After thoroughly removing the tumour, we immediately reconstructed the abdom
