Abstract
As a contribution to the main topic “Supratentorial tumors of childhood,” a podium discussion on primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) was organized by the Congress Committee. The discussion was chaired by Professor Kleihues (Department of Neuropathology, Zurich) with comments by invited speakers Professor Rorke (Department of Pathology, The Children’s Hospital, Philadelphia), Professor Jänisch (Department of Neuropathology, Charité, East Berlin), Professor Schulte (Department of Pediactrics, Hamburg), and Professor Wechsler (Department of Neuropathology, Düsseldorf).
